Barbour County Intermediate School

Summary:

Barbour County Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-6 in Louisville, Alabama, with a student population of 263. The school is part of the Barbour County School District, which is ranked 133 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student body is predominantly African American (72.62% in 2022-2023).

Barbour County Intermediate School consistently performs significantly below the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 2.63% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 42.16%. This pattern holds true for English and science assessments as well. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Alabama for the past several years, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students.

The performance of Barbour County Intermediate School stands in stark contrast to nearby schools in other districts, such as Banks School and Pike County Elementary School, which serve more diverse student populations and consistently outperform Barbour County Intermediate School on standardized tests and have higher statewide rankings. Despite the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Barbour County Intermediate School's per-student spending is not significantly higher than the nearby schools analyzed, suggesting that resource allocation may not be the primary driver of the school's poor academic performance. The school's struggles appear to be deeply rooted and may require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address.

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.
