Greene County High School

Summary:

Greene County High School is a public high school located in Eutaw, Alabama, serving 255 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Alabama high schools over the past decade, with its academic performance significantly below the state average.

The school faces significant challenges, with 83.53% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite a reasonable student-teacher ratio, the school's proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics (2.74%), Science (9.59%), and English (5.8%) are well below the state averages. This trend of underperformance has persisted over the years, suggesting that the school's challenges are not easily resolved through simple adjustments to staffing or resource allocation.

While the school's racial composition is predominantly African American, comprising 96.86% of the student population, this does not appear to be the primary driver of the school's academic challenges. The school's ranking for African American students is slightly better than its overall ranking, but still in the bottom half of Alabama high schools. The persistent underperformance and the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds highlight the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of the school's community.

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.
