Best Public Schools in Atmore, AL


Summary:

The city of Atmore, Alabama is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in Atmore display varying levels of academic performance, with Huxford Elementary School standing out as the strongest performer, consistently outpacing the county and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English language arts.

In contrast, Rachel Patterson Elementary School struggles academically, with low proficiency rates in mathematics and English. This disparity may be linked to the school's high percentage of African American students (73.12%) and high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (77.44%), which are often associated with lower academic achievement. The other schools, Escambia County Middle School and Escambia County High School, also perform below the county and state averages on standardized tests.

The data suggests that the schools in Atmore face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all campuses. This, coupled with the uneven distribution of resources, as evidenced by the variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, may contribute to the disparities in academic performance. Targeted interventions and equitable funding could help address these issues and support the academic success of all students in the Escambia County school district.
