Robertsdale High School

Summary:

Robertsdale High School is a public high school serving around 1,450 students in grades 9-12 in Robertsdale, Alabama, which is part of the Baldwin County School District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by student proficiency, tends to lag behind higher-performing neighbors like Spanish Fort High School, Daphne High School, and Fairhope High School.

Robertsdale High School's academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English, is generally lower than the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30.18% of 11th-grade students at Robertsdale High School were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 38.47% in Baldwin County and 23.12% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.1% to 63.72% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Robertsdale High School's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 49th out of 378 schools in 2023-2024 to 119th out of 367 schools in 2021-2022, the school faces challenges in terms of academic performance, student diversity, and socioeconomic factors compared to its higher-performing neighbors. However, the diversity of its student population and the school's efforts to improve present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help all students succeed.

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.
