Elementary Schools in Coosa County

Coosa County, Alabama is home to a single elementary school, Central Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Coosa County and Alabama state averages, ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state.

Central Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is below average across grade levels and subject areas. This underperformance may be influenced by factors such as resource allocation, teacher quality, or the school's high percentage of students (67.27%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's diverse racial and ethnic composition, with a significant proportion of African American and Hispanic students, also raises questions about potential equity and opportunity gaps.

Despite spending slightly more per student than the state average and having a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, Central Elementary School has consistently received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and ensuring equitable access to educational resources could be crucial in improving outcomes for the students of Coosa County.
