Randolph Park Elementary School

Summary:

Randolph Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Anniston, Alabama, serving 337 students in grades 1-5. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

Randolph Park Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Alabama elementary schools, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 38.1% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 42.16% statewide and 25.71% in the Anniston City district. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 5.97% to 38.1% across grades 3-5, compared to the state averages of 37.13% to 42.16%. In English language arts, the school's proficiency rates range from 38.89% to 46.88%, also below the state averages of 58% to 63.07%.

Randolph Park Elementary School's challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 95.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.7 to 21.8 over the past three school years, compared to nearby schools like Kitty Stone Elementary School in Jacksonville City, which has a ratio ranging from 12.2 to 19.7. These factors likely contribute to the school's academic struggles and suggest that targeted interventions and additional resources may be needed to improve educational outcomes for the students at Randolph Park Elementary School.

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.
