Silverhill School

Summary:

Silverhill School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Silverhill, Alabama, which is part of the Baldwin County school district. With a high percentage of Hispanic students and a significant number of economically disadvantaged learners, Silverhill School faces several challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.

One of the key issues at Silverhill School is its declining academic performance. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 115th to 391st out of around 680-695 Alabama elementary schools. This is particularly concerning given that the school's test scores are generally lower than the Baldwin County and Alabama averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.82% of 3rd graders at Silverhill were proficient in math, compared to 45.41% in Baldwin County and 42.16% statewide.

Another key challenge for Silverhill School is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 52.36% to 75.26% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Magnolia School, J Larry Newton School, and Fairhope East Elementary, which have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and generally higher test scores and statewide rankings. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by Silverhill School's students will be crucial for improving the school's overall performance.

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.
