Inglenook School

Summary:

Inglenook School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Birmingham City School District in Alabama, with a student population of 333 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Alabama, with a predominantly African American student body and high rates of economic disadvantage.

Inglenook School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the Birmingham City and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Inglenook has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its poor academic outcomes.

When comparing Inglenook School to other nearby schools in the Birmingham City district, it becomes clear that Inglenook is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. Schools like Phillips Academy and Norwood Elementary significantly outperform Inglenook on academic measures. Inglenook's persistent low performance is indicative of broader challenges facing the Birmingham City School District, which is ranked 117 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has an overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
