Summary:

Belforest Elementary School is a public elementary school in Daphne, Alabama, serving 1,068 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Baldwin County School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top 15% of elementary schools in Alabama, with particularly strong academic performance in English/Language Arts that significantly outpaces the county and state averages.

Belforest Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 77.62% White, 6.46% African American, 6.09% Hispanic, and 2.25% Asian students - higher racial diversity than many nearby schools like Rosinton School, Fairhope West Elementary, and Spanish Fort Elementary School. Additionally, Belforest has a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to surrounding schools, ranking 71st out of 670 elementary schools in the state for its low socioeconomic status student population.

Belforest Elementary's academic success is further supported by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.9, lower than the state average and nearby schools like Fairhope East Elementary, Silverhill School, and Daphne Elementary School. This efficient resource allocation likely contributes to the school's ability to provide a personalized learning environment and support students from diverse backgrounds in achieving exceptional academic outcomes.

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.
