Delta Elementary School

Summary:

Delta Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bay Minette, Alabama, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 211. The school is part of the Baldwin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Delta Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (75.83%) compared to the more diverse nearby schools like Belforest Elementary (77.62% White) and Rockwell Elementary (77.21% White), its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 20.83% to 42.86% across different grade levels, compared to higher scores at Belforest Elementary (47.24% to 60.61%) and Rockwell Elementary (58.95% to 79.81%). Additionally, Delta Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (65.88% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, which have lower rates (e.g., Belforest Elementary at 31.18% and Rockwell Elementary at 25.14%).

Delta Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 125th out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in 2017-2018 (4-star rating) to 445th out of 680 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating). This variability in ranking is not seen in the nearby high-performing schools, which have maintained 4- or 5-star ratings consistently. When comparing Delta Elementary's test scores to the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages, the school's performance is significantly lower, particularly in Mathematics. These factors suggest that Delta Elementary faces challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its students compared to the surrounding high-performing schools in the district.

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.
