Best Public Schools in Graysville, AL

Summary:

The city of Graysville, Alabama has only one school, Brookville Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Brookville Elementary is the sole focus of this analysis, as there are no other schools in the city to compare it to directly.

Brookville Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with its student performance consistently falling below the Jefferson County and Alabama state averages on standardized tests. The school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate, for example, was 38.71% in 2023-2024, compared to the county's 30.63% and the state's 42.16%. This underperformance is reflected in the school's 1-2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lower-performing schools in the state.

Brookville Elementary's challenges may be exacerbated by its high poverty rate, with 79.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $10,432 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, it has struggled to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes for its students. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and support systems to address the root causes of its persistent underperformance.
