Appalachian School

Summary:

Appalachian School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Oneonta, Alabama, part of the Blount County school district. With 636 students, the school has a racial makeup of 79.25% White and 19.81% Hispanic.

Appalachian School consistently underperforms the Blount County and Alabama state averages on standardized tests, with only 10.64% of 11th graders proficient or better in Math compared to 17.74% for Blount County and 23.12% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.29% to 56.92% over the past 3 years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Appalachian School's spending per student of $9,761 is higher than the nearby Southeastern School ($8,321 per student) but lower than Ragland High School ($11,810 per student).

These findings suggest that Appalachian School may be struggling to effectively educate its students, particularly those from low-income families. The school's consistent underperformance compared to the district and state, as well as nearby schools, indicates a need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of its student population and improve 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.
