Henagar Junior High School

Summary:

Henagar Junior High School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Henagar, Alabama, with a student population of 224 and is part of the DeKalb County school district, which is ranked 78 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below the state and county averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th grade math proficiency rate was 11.54%, compared to the state average of 37.13% and the DeKalb County average of 32.53%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students performing relatively well but white students and low socioeconomic status students performing poorly. Henagar Junior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Interestingly, Henagar Junior High School has a significantly higher percentage of Native American students (16.07%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Stevenson Elementary School, Thurston T Nelson Elementary School, and Caldwell Elementary School. The school's relatively high per-student spending ($11,385 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools does not appear to translate into stronger academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the school's performance challenges.

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.
