Summary:
Laceys Spring, Alabama is home to a single elementary school, Laceys Spring Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is located in Morgan County and has a diverse student population, with 70.63% White and 24.42% Hispanic students. However, the school faces challenges, as it consistently underperforms compared to state and county averages on academic assessments, particularly in math.
Despite spending more per student ($10,425) than the state average, Laceys Spring Elementary School's statewide ranking has been declining, dropping from 522nd out of 687 Alabama elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 419th out of 684 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests the school is struggling to keep pace with improvements made by other elementary schools in the state. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 78.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.
Overall, Laceys Spring Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school that is not meeting the academic needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. The school's declining statewide ranking and mixed test score performance indicate the need for a closer examination of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student growth and achievement.
