Best Public Schools in Theodore, AL


Summary:

The city of Theodore, Alabama is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds and economic circumstances. While the schools face challenges in academic performance, particularly in math and science, one school, Nan Gray Davis Elementary School, stands out with strong English Language Arts proficiency rates that exceed county and state averages.

The schools in Theodore exhibit stark disparities in academic achievement, with Nan Gray Davis Elementary outperforming the other schools, especially in ELA. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and student-teacher ratios, such as targeted interventions and support, may be contributing to the achievement gaps. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district, ranging from 59.92% at Theodore High School to 84.62% at Mary W Burroughs Elementary School, indicate that the schools are serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which likely presents additional challenges in providing resources and support.

The racial compositions of the schools also suggest a degree of racial segregation, with Theodore High School and Katherine H Hankins Middle School having majority white student populations, while Mary W Burroughs Elementary School has a majority African American student population. This raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities across the Mobile County school district.
