Beulah Elementary School

Beulah Elementary School serves 670 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Valley, Alabama. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with an academic score of 8.5 and a growth score of 9.7. Growth measures how quickly students advance relative to their own starting points — a particularly telling metric for gauging whether a school is genuinely moving students forward.

The statewide picture confirms Beulah's standing. It places #26 out of 1,356 public schools in Alabama, outperforming 98% of schools statewide. That same position holds among Alabama's 696 elementary schools — Beulah ranks #26 in that group as well.

For families in Valley, the local comparison is more direct: Beulah holds the top spot among all six public schools in the city. A student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1 supports close, consistent attention across a 670-student enrollment. Beulah accepts no selective admissions and operates as a regular public school open to its community.

Its top-2% statewide ranking without filtering its student population makes the Exceptional rating meaningful rather than merely expected.

Located in a rural area, Beulah Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
