Elkmont Elementary School

Q: Is Elkmont Elementary School a good school?

Elkmont Elementary School ranks 312 th of 684 Alabama elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Elkmont Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Elkmont, Alabama, with a student population of 376. The school is part of the Limestone County School District, which is ranked 82 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elkmont Elementary consistently outperforms the Limestone County and Alabama state averages on standardized test scores, particularly in English/Language Arts. The school's special education students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students also perform very well, ranking 186th and 307th, respectively, out of Alabama elementary schools. However, Elkmont Elementary generally underperforms Johnson Elementary and Cedar Hill Elementary in mathematics and science, though it excels in English/Language Arts assessments.

Elkmont Elementary has seen a slight decline in enrollment over the past few years, and its racial makeup has shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in Hispanic students. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 295th and 317th out of the approximately 680-690 Alabama elementary schools. This suggests the school is performing at a relatively average level compared to its peers in the state, which may be due in part to its slightly lower per-student spending of $9,722 in 2018-2019 compared to the state average.

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.

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.
