The 16 elementary schools located in Madison County, Alabama serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, with the majority being traditional elementary schools covering grades K-5. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement across the district.

Among the standout schools are Monrovia Elementary School, which ranks 54th out of 684 elementary schools in Alabama and has a 5-star rating, as well as Legacy Elementary School, which ranks 103rd in the state and has 4-star ratings. These schools excel in both math and English proficiency, significantly outperforming the county and state averages. Another high-performing school is Moores Mill Intermediate School, which ranks 116th in Alabama and has impressive proficiency rates, especially in 5th grade.

However, the data also reveals large gaps in academic achievement, with some schools struggling to meet proficiency standards. Factors such as higher per-student spending, lower student-teacher ratios, and lower rates of economic disadvantage (as measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility) appear to be associated with stronger academic performance. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable educational opportunities across the district will be crucial for improving outcomes for all students in Madison County.
