Hackleburg High School

Summary:

Hackleburg High School is a public high school in Hackleburg, Alabama, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Marion County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hackleburg High School has a predominantly white student population, with 89.64% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools like Russellville High School. Academically, the school has struggled, with consistently low proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts across grade levels and years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.11% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.12%. Additionally, 70.27% of Hackleburg High School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Hackleburg High School's academic performance lags behind the nearby schools, such as Hamilton High School and Phillips High School, which are also part of the Marion County School District. These schools have higher proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts, as well as higher overall school rankings. Hackleburg High School's academic performance has also declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 93 out of 353 schools in 2016-2017 to 237 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be facing increasing challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

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.
