Erwin Intermediate School

Summary:

Erwin Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Center Point, Alabama, serving 502 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Erwin Intermediate School has a predominantly African American student population, with over 89% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year.

Erwin Intermediate School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Alabama elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 558-665 out of 684-692 schools over the past 10 years. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating very low academic performance. Proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the Jefferson County and Alabama state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.11% of 3rd graders, 10.32% of 4th graders, and 13.1% of 5th graders were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 30.63% and 42.16% at the county and state levels, respectively.

When comparing Erwin Intermediate School to nearby schools within the same district, such as Bryant Park Elementary and Chalkville Elementary, the academic performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools, while still struggling, generally outperform Erwin Intermediate School in proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's low ranking within the district and state suggest that factors such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and student support services may be contributing to the school's poor 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.
