Summary:

Cleveland High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Cleveland, Alabama, with a total enrollment of 362 students. The school is part of the Blount County School District, which is ranked 51 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cleveland High School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (22.38%) and a lower percentage of White students (75.14%). Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Alabama high schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its proficiency rates in state assessments, particularly in mathematics, are generally lower than the Blount County and Alabama averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.33% to 57.46% over the past three years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to nearby schools.

Despite the school's lower proficiency rates in some subject areas, Cleveland High School has maintained its 4-star rating, indicating that it is still performing well overall. The higher percentage of Hispanic students reflects the changing demographic trends in the region, which could present both challenges and opportunities for the school. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of around 18-19 is slightly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 15.5 to 19.3. Overall, Cleveland High School appears to be a solid performer within the Blount County School District, with a diverse student population and some areas for potential improvement, particularly in strengthening its math curriculum and instructional strategies.

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.
