Original Research by School Decision on Covenant Academy of Mobile
Covenant Academy of Mobile is a K-5 independent public charter school district that opened in 2022, making it a relatively new public school option for families in Mobile. Because it serves only kindergarten through fifth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and the academic picture is limited to elementary state testing data.
The school is small, with an enrollment that is overwhelmingly Black. The remaining students are a mix of White, Hispanic, and multiracial, with no Asian or Native American students enrolled. Information on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are identified as English learners was not available in the data.
On the Alabama ACAP state assessments, reading proficiency is notably stronger than math. In the fourth and fifth grades, more than half of students scored proficient in English language arts. Third graders and sixth graders were below that mark, with about two-fifths of each group reaching proficiency. Math proficiency is a soft spot for the school. In fourth grade, a very small share of students met the bar. Third and fifth graders were also in the lower range, though sixth graders did somewhat better, with around a fifth of students achieving proficiency. Science is tested only in fourth grade, and about a fifth of those students scored proficient. Overall, looking across all tested subjects and grades, the school's proficiency index sits below the midpoint when compared to other districts in Mobile County. The data available covers only the 2024-25 school year, so no trend over time can be assessed.
The school was established through the Alabama Charter Commission and opened with a stated mission to serve the local community. Publicly reported details from the school's early years indicate it started with an enrollment around a couple hundred students. A parent considering this school will want to investigate current student support resources, special population services, and how the school plans to build academic momentum in math and science, as the early testing data shows room for growth in those areas. Given the single year of results, it is too early to say whether these scores represent a starting point or an ongoing pattern.
