Huxford Elementary School

Summary:

Huxford Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atmore, Alabama, serving 271 students in grades K-6 as part of the Escambia County School District. The school has a unique racial composition, with a higher percentage of Native American students and lower percentage of White students compared to surrounding schools. However, Huxford Elementary has consistently underperformed academically, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly lower than the county and state averages.

Huxley Elementary's academic challenges are compounded by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.65% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This trend is concerning, as research has shown that students from disadvantaged backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success. When compared to the nearby Flomaton Elementary School, also in the Escambia County School District, Huxley Elementary performs significantly worse academically, with Flomaton consistently outperforming it in standardized test scores and statewide rankings.

Despite these challenges, Huxley Elementary's unique racial composition, particularly the high percentage of Native American students, could present opportunities for the school to develop culturally responsive teaching practices and leverage the strengths and experiences of its diverse student population. Addressing the school's academic and socioeconomic challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the school's unique needs and the resources and support required to improve student outcomes.

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.
