W J Carroll Intermediate School consistently outperforms the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages in proficiency rates for Summative Assessments in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts across grades 4-6. The school's student population is also more racially diverse compared to some nearby middle schools, with a student body that was 61.34% White, 19.87% African American, 7.99% Hispanic, and 9.72% two or more races in 2022-2023. However, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 52.92% in 2020-2021 to 61.34% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Fairhope Middle School and Spanish Fort Middle School, which are also part of the Baldwin County School District, W J Carroll Intermediate School stands out as a high-performing school. However, the school has seen a decline in mathematics proficiency rates over the past few years, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address this trend. The growing diversity and higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds at W J Carroll Intermediate School suggest that the school may need to adapt its strategies and resources to better support these students and ensure their academic success.

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.
