Brindlee Mountain High School

Summary:

Brindlee Mountain High School is a public high school located in Guntersville, Alabama, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 553. The school is part of the Marshall County school district, which is ranked 81 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brindlee Mountain High School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, racial disparities, and socioeconomic challenges. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and county averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.2% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.12%. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.88% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 50%, suggests that the school may face challenges in addressing the needs of students from low-income families, which can impact academic achievement.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Asbury High School, Douglas High School, and Kate D Smith DAR High School, Brindlee Mountain High School generally performs worse academically, has a less diverse student population, and has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These challenges may require targeted interventions and support to address the disparities and improve educational outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
