Notasulga High School

Summary:

Notasulga High School is an alternative public school in Notasulga, Alabama, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 298 students. The school is part of the Macon County School District, which is ranked 126th out of 137 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Notasulga High School consistently underperforms the state and county averages in proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, including Mathematics, Science, and English. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate is 0%, compared to the state average of 23.12% and the county average of 2.42%. The school's performance in English Language Arts is slightly better, but still lags behind the state and county averages. Additionally, Notasulga High School has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.16% to 94.01% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $13,672 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance remains poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the persistent academic challenges faced by Notasulga High School. The school's underperformance compared to the state and county averages indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning 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.
