State report card
Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. The grade comes from a 100-point score built from students’ achievement and growth on state tests in English language arts and math, chronic absenteeism (the share of students who missed 18 or more days), progress in English language proficiency and, for high schools, graduation rate and college and career readiness, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules.
2024-25 grade: C, 76 points. That matches the C and 76 points on the 2023-24 card. Montgomery Public Schools as a whole earned a C, with 75 points. The state lists Dalraida Elementary as a Comprehensive Support and Improvement School, a federal designation that brings a school improvement plan.
| Indicator | 2024-25 score |
|---|---|
| Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) | 57.74 |
| Academic growth | 90.02 |
| Progress in English language proficiency | 47.73 |
| Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) | 17.70% of students |

Attendance zone
Check an address with the district’s school zone search, which Montgomery Public Schools links from its home page. Zones do not follow the city limits; the Town of Pike Road runs its own school system, Pike Road City Schools, and the tool flags Pike Road addresses. In the zone search, the Montgomery addresses zoned for Dalraida Elementary fall in the middle school zone of Goodwyn Middle and in the high school zone of Percy Julian High. We checked about 1,640 points across the Montgomery city limits in the tool on Oct. 17, 2026; zones can split streets, so check your own address.
The switch to a full magnet
Dalraida launched as a full STEAM magnet school in August 2026, one of the district’s key initiatives, according to the school’s magnet transition page. For 2026-27 there is no GPA requirement to enter, but students must live in the Dalraida zone; students who move into the zone and enroll before Oct. 1, 2026, are “grandfathered” into the magnet program and can stay through fifth grade if they keep a 2.5 GPA. Students who came through school choice or a failing-schools transfer stay through fifth grade and must apply through the magnet lottery for Baldwin Arts in sixth grade.
