Evergreen Elementary School

Q: Is Evergreen Elementary School a good school?

Evergreen Elementary School ranks 472 nd of 684 Alabama elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Evergreen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Evergreen, Alabama, with a student population of 358. The school is part of the Conecuh County School District, which is ranked 115 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evergreen Elementary has several key factors that differentiate it from other schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (86.03%) compared to the state average, and its academic performance consistently lags behind state and county averages on standardized tests. While the school's African American students perform better than the county average, they still fall behind the state average. Additionally, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status students perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Alabama elementary schools. Evergreen Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

The challenges faced by Evergreen Elementary are not isolated but rather a systemic issue within the Conecuh County School District. The nearby schools, such as Repton Junior High School, Conecuh County Junior High School, and Lyeffion Junior High School, also perform poorly on standardized tests and have low rankings. This suggests that the school's struggles are not unique and may require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address the underlying issues, such as racial and socioeconomic disparities, that are impacting student outcomes.

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.
