Elementary Schools in St Clair County

The elementary schools in St Clair County, Alabama, serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade across 7 schools in the district. The schools vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics, providing parents with a range of educational options for their children.

Among the standout schools in the area, Springville Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 15-20% of Alabama elementary schools, with strong test scores and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to other schools in the district. Moody Elementary School and Margaret Elementary also perform well, ranking in the top 30-35% of the state. In contrast, Odenville Intermediate and Steele Elementary have lower rankings, falling in the bottom 50% of the state.

The data highlights the importance of considering both academic performance and student demographics when evaluating school quality. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Ashville Elementary and the Odenville schools, face additional challenges that may impact their academic results. However, the variation in spending per student across the schools suggests that funding levels alone do not necessarily determine academic success, and other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, likely play a significant role in driving student outcomes.
