Summary:
The Fort Payne City school district in Alabama is home to two elementary schools: Wills Valley Elementary School and Little Ridge Intermediate School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
While neither school stands out as a clear top performer or underperformer, the data suggests they are providing education at a relatively average level compared to the Fort Payne City district and the state of Alabama. Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, around 73-74%, indicating a large population of students from low-income families. The racial makeup of the schools is also diverse, with a majority of students being either White or Hispanic.
Academically, Little Ridge Intermediate School's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively high, which could potentially impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Additionally, the spending per student at Wills Valley Elementary School is slightly below the national average, which may be a factor in the school's performance.
