Ranburne Elementary School

Summary:

Ranburne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Ranburne, Alabama, with a student population of 375 that is predominantly White. The school is part of the Cleburne County School District, which is ranked 60 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ranburne Elementary has consistently performed well on state assessments, with a significant portion of students scoring proficient or better in mathematics, science, and English language arts. In 2021-2022, the school ranked 106 out of 687 Alabama elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance has shown a slight decline in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 76 in 2017-2018 to 281 in 2023-2024. Interestingly, Ranburne Elementary serves a significant proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is in contrast to the school's predominantly White student population.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Cleburne County district, Ranburne Elementary generally performs better on state assessments, particularly in English language arts. For example, in 2021-2022, Ranburne's 3rd and 4th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in English language arts. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of around 16:1 is slightly higher than the ratios of some nearby schools, such as Pleasant Grove Elementary and Fruithurst Elementary, which have lower student-teacher ratios. Additionally, Ranburne Elementary's performance data suggests that male students generally outperform female students, an area that the school may want to explore further to understand the root causes and implement targeted interventions.

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.
