Elkmont High School

Summary:

Elkmont High School is a public high school in Elkmont, Alabama, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 643. The school is part of the Limestone County School District, which is ranked 82 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elkmont High School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Clements High School, Tanner High School, and East Limestone High School. The school's proficiency rates in Summative Assessments are generally lower than the Limestone County and Alabama state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined from 102 out of 353 in 2014-2015 to 285 out of 378 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Elkmont High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds performing significantly worse than their peers.

When compared to high-performing schools outside the Limestone County district, such as James Clemens High School and Bob Jones High School in the Madison City district, Elkmont High School's academic performance is significantly lower. These schools have much higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate resources more effectively, and explore best practices from higher-performing schools to improve student 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.
