Daleville Middle School

Summary:

Daleville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Daleville, Alabama, with a student population of 361 and is part of the Dale County school district, which is ranked 107 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Daleville Middle School faces significant challenges compared to its higher-performing peers in the region. The school has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (27.42%) and Hispanic (21.61%) students, but consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the 8th-grade Math proficiency rate was only 6.32% compared to the state average of 22.06%. The school's White and English Language Learner student subgroups perform particularly poorly, ranking 329th out of 373 and 94th out of 106 in the state, respectively, in 2023-2024. Additionally, Daleville Middle School has a very high percentage of students (72.3% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Daleville Middle School's academic performance lags significantly behind that of nearby high-performing schools like Slocomb Middle School and Dauphin Junior High School, which consistently outperform the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past few years, from 291st out of 440 Alabama middle schools in 2020-2021 to 343rd out of 442 in 2023-2024, indicating that the school is falling behind its peers. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional quality, supporting underperforming student subgroups, and ensuring the school has the necessary resources and staffing to meet the needs of its diverse student population.

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.
