Red Level School

Summary:

Red Level School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Covington County school district, with a student population of 488 located in Red Level, AL. The school has a predominantly White student body (79.51%), with significant populations of African American (13.11%) and Hispanic (2.25%) students, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (61.14% to 72.75%).

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio (14.3 to 16.0) and lower spending per student ($8,239) compared to nearby schools like Pleasant Home School, Red Level School consistently underperforms academically compared to the Covington County and Alabama state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.41% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 26.78% in Covington County and 23.12% statewide.

The analysis of Red Level School also reveals some interesting findings, such as a declining racial diversity over the past three school years, inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas, and a comparison to nearby schools that generally shows Red Level School underperforming in academic metrics, with a few exceptions. The high poverty rates at the school may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to support student success.

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.
