Summary:

Wilson Hall Middle School is a public middle school in Grove Hill, Alabama, serving 213 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Clarke County School District, which is ranked 105 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Hall Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Alabama middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments often less than half the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15.52% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 37.13%. The school's African American students perform significantly better than the overall school, ranking between 74 and 139 out of 263-269 Alabama middle schools for this subgroup. In contrast, the school's White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform worse than the overall school, ranking between 214 and 246 and 235 and 312 out of 370-437 Alabama middle schools, respectively.

While Wilson Hall Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Jackson Middle School and Thomasville Middle School, the school's academic performance has been consistently low and declining, suggesting that there may be other staffing-related challenges, such as teacher quality, professional development, or retention. Addressing the significant performance gap between the school's African American students and other subgroups, as well as the overall low academic performance, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and opportunities for the students at Wilson Hall Middle School.

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.
