Keith MiddleHigh School

Summary:

Keith MiddleHigh School is a public school located in Orrville, Alabama, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 217. The school is part of the Dallas County School District, which is ranked 114 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Keith MiddleHigh School has a predominantly African American student population, with over 95% of students identifying as African American, significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in the nearby Southside High School and Selma High School. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Alabama, with rankings between 241-363 out of 378 high schools in the state over the past several years. Additionally, Keith MiddleHigh School has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.48% to 89.29% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 15.3 in recent years, Keith MiddleHigh School's academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. This persistent low performance suggests deep-rooted challenges that the school has struggled to address, and highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged 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.
