Smiths Station changed how its elementary schools work for 2026–27. Children now move through the buildings by grade instead of attending one neighborhood elementary. So for most addresses the question isn’t which elementary, but whether the house is in the Smiths Station attendance district at all.

Registering, and enrolling before you arrive
Alabama lets military families register before they arrive. Under Ala. Code §16-28-60 (amended in 2024), a child of an active-duty parent transferring to an Alabama installation can register remotely with official orders. Proof of residency waits until you arrive, and a child with an IEP or 504 plan gets comparable services on arrival. Alabama is also in the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children.
What Lee County Schools asks for
- ✓The child’s birth certificate and certificate of immunization. A Social Security card is optional.
- ✓Parent photo ID, and custody papers if they apply.
- ✓Proof of residency: one primary document (mortgage or deed, paid property tax record, or lease) plus one secondary (power bill preferred; water, gas, cable or home phone also work).
- ✓Living with someone else? Use the district’s residency affidavit.
- ✓Register through PowerSchool/InfoSnap.

Checking school performance
Alabama publishes ratings for every school on the Alabama State Report Card. Its scores aren’t comparable with Georgia’s CCRPI, because the states grade on different systems. We don’t rank schools for you; every visitor sees the same official numbers.
Living on Fort Benning instead?
On-post families can use the Fort Benning DoDEA schools: Dexter, McBride, Stowers and E.A. White elementary (pre-K to 5th) and Faith Middle School (6th to 8th). Registration needs active-duty verification and proof of on-post housing. There is no high school on post; the garrison lists Spencer High (Muscogee), Chattahoochee County High and Russell County High, with transportation from post. Our on-post vs off-post guide walks through the choice.
