Summary:

Robertsdale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Robertsdale, Alabama, with a student population of 1,056. The school is part of the Baldwin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Robertsdale Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (64.3%), with significant Hispanic (18.47%) and African American (8.71%) populations, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 45.41% in Baldwin County and 42.16% statewide. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 197th out of 681 Alabama elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 336th out of 684 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also dropped from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period.

Robertsdale Elementary's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better than White and African American students. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.35% to 73.3% over the past few years, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Stonebridge Elementary and Fairhope East Elementary, Robertsdale Elementary's academic outcomes indicate a need for improvement to better support all students and address the unique challenges faced by the school community.

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.
