Mulkey Elementary School

Mulkey Elementary School serves 565 students in grades PK through 5 in Geneva, Alabama. The school earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with an academic subscore of 9.1 and a growth subscore of 9.0. Both figures reflect consistent, measurable performance across the full student population, not just a select group.

Those scores carry real weight in state context. Mulkey ranks 47th out of 1,356 public schools in Alabama, outperforming 97% of schools statewide. Among Alabama's 696 elementary schools specifically, it sits at 46th — and within Geneva, it holds the top spot among the city's three elementary schools.

That kind of positioning is uncommon for a regular public elementary school in a small Alabama city. A student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 1 keeps class sizes manageable and supports the kind of differentiated instruction that sustains high growth scores over time. The 9.0 growth score signals that students are advancing at a strong pace year over year — a useful data point for parents who want to know whether a school is genuinely moving students forward, not just sorting them by incoming ability.

Located in a rural area, Mulkey 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.
