Hueytown Middle School

Summary:

Hueytown Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Hueytown, Alabama, which is part of the Jefferson County school district. With a student population of 789, the school has a predominantly African American (56.02%) and Hispanic (15.21%) student body, with a smaller percentage of White students (26.87%).

Academically, Hueytown Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Alabama middle schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 11.29% of 6th graders, 4.05% of 7th graders, and 5.3% of 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 31.56%, 23.6%, and 22.06%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school average but still lagging behind their peers statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, Hueytown Middle School's academic performance is significantly lower. For instance, the nearby Jefferson County International Baccalaureate School, which is also part of the Jefferson County district, consistently ranks among the top schools in the state and outperforms Hueytown Middle School across all subject areas and grade levels. However, Hueytown Middle School's English Language Learner (ELL) and special education students perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide, suggesting that the school may have some strengths to build upon.

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.
