Ivalee Elementary School

Summary:

Ivalee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Attalla, Alabama, serving 240 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Etowah County School District. While the school has a strong performance in English/Language Arts, it faces challenges in math and science proficiency compared to county and state averages.

Ivalee Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.33%) compared to surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. This racial imbalance may warrant further investigation. Additionally, over 60% of Ivalee's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 86th to 248th out of 692 Alabama elementary schools, with a current ranking of 239th and a 3-star rating.

When comparing Ivalee Elementary to nearby schools, John S Jones Elementary, within the same district, outperforms Ivalee in both academic proficiency and statewide ranking. In contrast, Carlisle Elementary, also in the Etowah County district, has a similar racial makeup to Ivalee but lower academic performance, suggesting that racial composition alone does not determine a school's outcomes. The Gadsden City schools, located in a different district, generally have lower academic proficiency and statewide rankings compared to Ivalee Elementary.

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.
