Lawrence County High School

Summary:

Lawrence County High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Moulton, Alabama, with a student population of 613. The school is part of the Lawrence County School District, which is ranked 91 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being the largest high school in the district, Lawrence County High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores across subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.24% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.12%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American and Special Education students performing relatively well, while White and Low Socioeconomic Status students lag behind. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.8% to 60.85% over the past three school years, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to other high schools in the Lawrence County district and the surrounding region, Lawrence County High School generally underperforms in academic metrics. For example, Hatton High School and East Lawrence High School, both in the same district, outperform Lawrence County High School in Mathematics, Science, and English proficiency rates. These challenges suggest that the school may need to explore strategies to improve instructional quality, target resources and support to underperforming subgroups, and address the needs of students from low-income backgrounds.

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.
