Elementary Schools in Clay County

The elementary schools in Clay County, Alabama serve students from grades K-6, with two schools in the district - Ashland Elementary School and Lineville Elementary School. Both schools are performing reasonably well, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger, but there are areas where they can improve, particularly in 4th-6th grade math.

Ashland Elementary School outperforms the Clay County and Alabama averages in several academic areas, including 3rd grade math and English, but struggles in 4th-6th grade math. Lineville Elementary School also outperforms the county and state in several areas, such as 4th grade math and science, but has lower proficiency rates in 6th grade math.

Both schools serve a high-need student population, with over 70% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Lineville Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students compared to Ashland Elementary School. The difference in spending per student between the two schools may contribute to the slight performance gap, but other factors like teacher quality and school leadership likely play a significant role as well.
