Summary:

Gaston High School is a public high school in Gadsden, Alabama, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Etowah County School District, which is ranked 62 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gaston High School has consistently underperformed compared to the Etowah County and Alabama state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics (19.72%) was significantly lower than the Etowah County (17.8%) and Alabama (23.12%) averages. The school has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Alabama high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has been 1 or 2 stars out of 5 for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance. Gaston High School also has a higher percentage of White students (82.34%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.71% to 75% over the past few years.

When compared to other high schools in the Etowah County district, such as Southside High School and Glencoe High School, Gaston High School consistently underperforms. These nearby schools have higher test scores, better statewide rankings, and lower free and reduced lunch rates. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the lack of racial/socioeconomic diversity at Gaston High School may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges, presenting an opportunity for the school district and community to identify and address the root causes of the school's performance issues.

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.

I went to this school and graduated from there in 2002, when I went there it was a good school. But since they got this new principal, I've heard really bad things about programs being cancelled and cut out that really helped the kids out. They cut out the book fair that they used to have 2 times a year through the library, they cut out santa shoppe for the time right before christmas that gave kids a chance to buy little trinkets and treats for their parents for Christmas, and I've also heard that the cheerleaders don't have a booster club anymore, so all of their money has to come from fund raising or from out of their parent's pockets. I don't think they help out enough with underprivliged kids. They also had a program called "Through Savannah's Eyes" that was for a girl that had went to school there, and under the reign of the new principal this has also been eliminated. There are 3 generations of people in my family that have graduated from this school, and its a shame that my daughter and son won't be going here because I just don't think it affords the children attending there the same opprotunities in learning, arts, and morals that it offered when I attended school there several years ago. I'm just saying....... Close Quote

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.
