Summary:
The city of Bon Secour, Alabama has a single public elementary school, Swift Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 118 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White (62.71%) and Hispanic (27.12%) students, as well as a significant portion of students (91.53%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Swift Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages on state assessments, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the district and state in subjects like 3rd grade math. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 2-star rating, suggesting that it has struggled to improve its performance over time.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1, which is lower than the state average, Swift Elementary School has not been able to translate this potential advantage into stronger academic outcomes for its students. The high poverty levels and the lack of significant improvement over time indicate that the school may require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational opportunities and outcomes.
