Plainview School

Summary:

Plainview School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Rainsville, Alabama, part of the DeKalb County school district. With a diverse student population, Plainview consistently outperforms the county and state in academic performance, has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio.

Plainview School's academic performance is a notable strength, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the county and state averages in Mathematics, Science, and English across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Plainview's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 53.41%, compared to 32.53% for the county and 37.13% for the state. This consistent academic excellence is particularly impressive given the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54% to 63% over the past three years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Ider School, Sand Rock High School, and Collinsville High School, Plainview School generally outperforms these schools in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and English. This suggests Plainview is a strong performer within the region, despite serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's diverse student population, which includes significant percentages of Hispanic and Native American students, may also provide valuable learning experiences and perspectives for students.

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.
