Summary:
The Choctaw County school district in Alabama is home to two elementary schools, Choctaw County Elementary and Southern Choctaw Elementary School. While both schools face significant challenges in improving student outcomes, Southern Choctaw Elementary stands out as the relatively stronger performer across several key metrics.
Southern Choctaw Elementary consistently outperforms Choctaw County Elementary in statewide rankings, test scores, racial diversity, and free/reduced lunch rates. It ranks 488th out of 684 Alabama elementary schools, compared to Choctaw County Elementary's 572nd ranking. Southern Choctaw Elementary also has higher proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts, as well as a more racially diverse student population and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these differences, both Choctaw County elementary schools face significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. Both schools perform significantly below the state average in these subject areas, with the lowest proficiency rates in 5th and 6th grade. Addressing the performance gaps, racial disparities, and funding differences may be crucial steps in driving school improvement efforts in the Choctaw County district.
