Elementary Schools in Baldwin County

The 25 elementary schools located in Baldwin County, Alabama serve a diverse student population, with a range of academic performance levels. While some schools, like Fairhope West Elementary and Spanish Fort Elementary School, consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, others, such as Foley Elementary, Pine Grove Elementary, and Swift Elementary, struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates.

The data reveals a wide range of student demographics, with schools serving populations that vary greatly in terms of racial composition and socioeconomic status. For example, Elberta Elementary has a predominantly white student body, while Foley Elementary has a more racially diverse population. Similarly, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from as low as 17.88% at Stonebridge Elementary to as high as 91.53% at Swift Elementary.

Despite the disparities in academic performance, the data does not show a clear relationship between factors like spending per student, student-teacher ratios, and test scores. This suggests that a more holistic, evidence-based approach may be needed to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools and promote greater equity in educational outcomes across Baldwin County.
