Riley Elementary School (Closed 2004)

3420 Hickory Ave Sw
Birmingham, AL 35211

Riley Elementary School, a Birmingham public elementary school serving grades K–5, closed in 2004 with an enrollment of 168 students, all Black and 86% eligible for free lunch at the time of closure.

The school had a student–teacher ratio of approximately 13:1 in 2003, the last year it operated, reflecting typical core staffing levels before closure.

Riley Elementary did not offer Blue Ribbon recognition and was Title I eligible, indicating federal support for schools with higher low–income student populations.

Enrollment declined from 222 students in 2000 to 168 in 2003 before school closure, accompanied by an increase in students receiving free or reduced–price lunch from 68% in 2000 to 96% in 2003.

As the school is closed, no recent rankings or proficiency data applies; the closure occurred in 2004, ending its performance record as a Union County NJ high school is not relevant.
