GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been very pleased with Kelly Springs Elementary this year. You hear horror stories about Dothan City Schools - do not let that stop you from enrolling your child in this school. My daughter has thrived at KSE and performs above grade-level in reading and math. Teachers here truly care about their students and want to see them succeed. They use various teaching methods to meet the needs of the different types of learners in their classes.

Kelly Springs is a great school with excellent, caring teachers who go above and beyond to help the students there succeed. We opted out of a local magnet school to stay at KSE because we have been so impressed with the education our children are receiving there.

We have absolutely loved Kelly Springs! Mrs. Forehand is a FANTASTIC teacher! My child has ADHD and is quite a challenge but she has done wonders with him. The PTO is super active and works really hard to help the teachers and students. They have a lot of fun activities that even the magnet schools...
