Summary:

Despite being part of the Lawrence County district, Hazlewood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Alabama elementary schools, with a statewide rank between 550-668 out of 680-695 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating persistently low academic performance. Hazlewood's student subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, White students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank in the bottom 25% of their respective subgroups statewide. Proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts are significantly below the state and Lawrence County averages across all grade levels.

Interestingly, Hazlewood Elementary's performance is significantly lower than other nearby schools in the Lawrence County and Muscle Shoals City districts. For example, East Lawrence Elementary and Hatton Elementary, both in the Lawrence County district, have higher statewide rankings, proficiency rates, and lower poverty rates. Despite being a low-performing school for many years, Hazlewood Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic outcomes or statewide rankings, raising concerns about the overall quality of education in the Lawrence County School District.

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.
