Stevenson Elementary School

Summary:

Stevenson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 354 students in grades PK-4 in Stevenson, Alabama, which is part of the Jackson County School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White, Hispanic, and Native American students compared to the state average.

Academically, Stevenson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as 3rd-grade English proficiency being above the state and county averages. The school also has a high percentage of special education students and low-income students, with over 64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby schools like Dutton Elementary and Rosalie Elementary, Stevenson Elementary generally performs below average.

Stevenson Elementary's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with some subject areas and grade levels showing improvement while others decline. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic progress. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students and Native American students, has been relatively strong compared to the overall school performance. This indicates the school may be able to leverage these strengths to improve overall academic outcomes, despite the school's resource constraints, as its per-student spending is lower than the state average.

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.
