Georgiana School

Summary:

Georgiana School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Georgiana, Alabama, with a student population of 388 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school faces significant challenges, as it serves a predominantly African American (74.74%) and economically disadvantaged student population, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (82.32% to 89.43% over the past 3 years).

Georgiana School consistently underperforms the Butler County and Alabama state averages across nearly all grade levels and subject areas in the Summative Assessments. For example, in 2023-2024 projections, Georgiana's 11th grade math proficiency is only 3.23% compared to 7.94% for Butler County and 23.12% for the state. Despite spending $11,631 per student, which is significantly higher than the $9,181 spent per student at the nearby McKenzie High School, Georgiana School has not shown significant improvements in test scores over the past 3 years.

The performance gap between Georgiana School and the state/county averages appears to be widening over time, and the nearby McKenzie High School, which serves a predominantly White student population, outperforms Georgiana School across nearly all academic metrics. This highlights the significant disparities in educational outcomes between the two schools, likely driven by socioeconomic and demographic factors. Targeted interventions, such as increased tutoring, social-emotional support, and family engagement programs, may be necessary to help close the achievement gap and improve educational outcomes for Georgiana School's students.

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.
