Walnut Grove School is a public elementary school serving grades PK–06 in New Market. It is one of 30 current school records connected to Madison County. NCES reports 303 students for 2024–25.
Among 696 elementary schools in Alabama with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 471 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 19th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 15.8:1, close to the Alabama median of 16.9:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (76.2%) and multiracial (6.9%). English learners represent 2.4% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 13.7%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
