Glen Oaks Elementary School

Summary:

Glen Oaks Elementary School is a public school in Fairfield, Alabama, serving 324 students in grades 3-5, with a predominantly African American student body. Despite its location, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom quartile of Alabama elementary schools.

Academically, Glen Oaks struggles, with only 24.32% of 3rd graders, 6.06% of 4th graders, and 10.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, far below the state averages. This is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student-teacher ratio at Glen Oaks has also fluctuated, ranging from 17.8 to 47 students per teacher, which may impact the school's ability to provide individualized attention.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Charles F. Hard Elementary School and Robinson Primary School, the performance gaps are stark. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics at Charles F. Hard and Robinson Primary were 4.17% and 24.32%, respectively, compared to Glen Oaks' 24.32%. Additionally, Glen Oaks' performance is particularly concerning for special education students and African American students, ranking in the bottom 5% and bottom 25% of Alabama elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups.

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.
