Stevenson Middle School

Summary:

Stevenson Middle School is a public middle school in Stevenson, Alabama, serving 255 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Jackson County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 137 districts in the state.

Stevenson Middle School stands out for its diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Native American students compared to the nearby Bridgeport Middle School. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and county averages, as well as the nearby Scottsboro Junior High School. Stevenson's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for its African American, Hispanic, and Native American students, but struggling with its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status populations.

Stevenson Middle School's spending per student ($8,766 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby Bridgeport Middle School ($15,280) and Scottsboro Junior High School ($9,158). The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting a need for the school to address its academic challenges. Addressing the unique needs of the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (65.88% in 2022-2023) could be a key focus for Stevenson Middle School.

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.
