Elementary Schools in Gadsden


Summary:

The Gadsden school district in Florida is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 66 out of 68 in Florida and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in the area. However, a few schools stand out among the rest.

Gadsden Elementary Magnet School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 674 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong test scores, with 90% or more of students proficient in Algebra 1, Biology 1, and 3rd grade Math, as well as a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6. Greensboro Elementary School also stands out, with the highest 3rd grade Math proficiency rates in the district, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and consistently underperforming the state averages on standardized tests. Racial disparities are also a concern, with the student populations at the schools predominantly African American. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Gadsden school district.
