The school also has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, lower than many nearby schools such as Silverhill School (75.26%) and Robertsdale Elementary (73.3%). Additionally, Elberta Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 17.3, which is lower than the state average and several nearby schools.

While Elberta Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools in academic metrics, some schools, such as Gulf Shores Elementary and Orange Beach Elementary, have even stronger academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English. These schools have a higher percentage of White students and lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their academic success. Additionally, Elberta Elementary's lack of racial diversity, with 83.14% of students being White in 2022-2023, and mixed performance for certain student subgroups are areas that could be further explored and addressed.

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.
