Elmore County High School

Summary:

Elmore County High School is a public high school located in Eclectic, Alabama, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 516. The school is part of the Elmore County School District, which is ranked 42 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elmore County High School has a predominantly white student population, with 87.21% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in nearby schools like Wetumpka High School (61.29% white) and Pike Road High School (44.68% white). The school has consistently ranked in the top 50 high schools in Alabama over the past several years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a strong academic performance. However, the school's performance on specific academic assessments is more mixed, with some areas (like science) performing better than others (like mathematics). Additionally, Elmore County High School has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 48.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the nearby Holtville High School (50.72%) and Wetumpka High School (49.44%), but lower than the more distant Reeltown High School (65.43%).

While Elmore County High School has a strong overall performance, the school faces some challenges in addressing the needs of its minority and low-socioeconomic student subgroups. In 2020-2021, the school's African American students ranked 187 out of 228 Alabama high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing additional support for its minority student population. However, the school's consistent high ranking and performance on par with or slightly better than its nearby counterparts suggest it is effectively navigating these challenges and providing a competitive education within its local region.

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.
