Moulton Middle School

Summary:

Moulton Middle School is a public middle school in Moulton, Alabama, serving 509 students in grades 5-8. 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.

Moulton Middle School stands out for its high percentage of White (82.71%) and Native American (5.5%) students, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, the school outperforms the county and state averages in mathematics and English language arts, with 5th-grade students performing the best. However, the school's 8th-grade science performance is lower than the state average. The school's Native American, African American, and Special Education student populations perform particularly well, ranking 19th, 82nd, and 130th out of Alabama middle schools, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, Moulton Middle School generally outperforms East Lawrence Middle School but lags behind the more diverse Decatur Middle School and Austin Middle School in overall rankings and test scores. Additionally, Moulton Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, which may be related to the high percentage of students (51.27% to 65.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population.

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.
