Pine Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Pine Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bay Minette, Alabama, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 462. The school is part of the Baldwin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Pine Grove has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (46.97%) and multi-racial (10.61%) students, its academic performance is consistently lower than the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Pine Grove's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 26.32%, compared to 45.41% for Baldwin County and 42.16% for the state. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state, and its performance is particularly low for African American, special education, and economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Baldwin County district, such as Loxley Elementary School and Rockwell Elementary, Pine Grove's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.5% to 82.9% over the past three school years, suggests that it may face significant challenges related to poverty, which can contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I'd give no stars but it wont let me.
My son is special needs and non verbal but this school which just this year has opened a program for special needs school. So not only no experience ar this but they hired a damn teacher straight out of college with no teaching skills or experience whatever to handle a special needs progam.

He is constantly coming home wet or with exchanged soaking wet clothes because they fail to check him after he has a drink or something.

They embarrassed him by suspending him because they made him angry then decided to put him into gen population again while hes still upset. So when another student tried to hug him he pushed him. So my autistic son was suspended.
Wtf??
Worst school ever.
I'm going to school board next. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
