Summary:
The city of Mount Vernon, Alabama has only one school in the data set - Calcedeaver Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. This school faces significant academic challenges, with test scores and rankings consistently below the Mobile County and state averages.
Calcedeaver Elementary School has a unique racial makeup, with a high percentage of Native American students (52.4%) and a relatively low percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to the state. The school also has a high percentage of students (78.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and relatively small class sizes, the school's academic performance remains a concern, with test scores in both mathematics and English language arts lagging behind county and state averages.
The data suggests that Calcedeaver Elementary School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the county and state. The school's unique demographics and high percentage of low-income students may be contributing factors to its performance, and addressing these challenges could be crucial in helping the school improve its academic standing.
