Summary:

Greensboro Middle School is a public middle school in Greensboro, Alabama, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 232. The school is part of the Hale County School District, which is ranked 108 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greensboro Middle School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 96.98% African American, significantly higher than the state average. The school consistently underperforms the state and Hale County averages in standardized test scores, with only 18.06% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 31.56%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30% of Alabama middle schools for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students, and in the bottom 1% for special education students.

In contrast, the nearby Demopolis Middle School has a more diverse student population with 54.36% African American and 39.68% White students, and consistently outperforms Greensboro Middle School on standardized tests. This comparison highlights the significant academic and resource disparities between the two schools, despite Greensboro Middle School having a relatively high per-student spending of $9,812, which does not seem to translate into improved academic 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.
