Unfortunately, the data analysis reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
Both Choctaw County Elementary and Choctaw County High School have low rankings and ratings, with the elementary school ranked 572 out of 684 Alabama elementary schools and the high school ranked 359 out of 378 Alabama high schools. The schools' proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly below the state averages, with only 16% of 3rd graders at the elementary school proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 42.16%. At the high school, an alarming 0% of 11th graders were proficient in Mathematics, far below the state average of 23.12%.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the schools' struggles, as both have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 77.53% and 82.66% respectively. While the spending per student is slightly higher than the state average, the consistently low performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
