Bullock County High School

Summary:

Bullock County High School is a public high school in Union Springs, Alabama, serving 446 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bullock County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bullock County High School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance well below the state average. The school has a high percentage of African American (83.41%) and Hispanic (15.02%) students, and its performance varies greatly across different student subgroups. While the school's African American students perform relatively better than the overall student population, ranking 147 out of 231 high schools in the state, the school's Hispanic students and male students perform significantly worse, ranking 139 out of 139 and 346 out of 368 high schools, respectively. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with over 82% of students qualifying for this program.

Interestingly, Booker T. Washington High School, located approximately 18 miles from Bullock County High School, also serves a predominantly African American student population and performs similarly poorly on academic assessments. This suggests that the challenges faced by Bullock County High School may be reflective of broader systemic issues in the region. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the unique needs of the school's diverse student population.

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.
