Calcedeaver Elementary School

Summary:

Calcedeaver Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mount Vernon, Alabama, serving 229 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Mobile County school district, which is ranked 96 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Calcedeaver Elementary stands out for its high percentage of Native American students (52.4%), significantly higher than the surrounding schools like North Mobile County Middle School (2.88%) and McDavidJones Elementary (7.66%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the county and state averages. For example, Calcedeaver's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 29.17% in 2023-2024, compared to the county's 30.58% and the state's 42.16%. Additionally, Calcedeaver has a high percentage of students (78.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools, Calcedeaver stands out for its unique racial makeup and academic challenges. While Robert E. Lee Elementary in the Satsuma City district demonstrates significantly higher academic performance, McIntosh Elementary in the Washington County district has a similar racial makeup but lower academic proficiency. The steady decline in Calcedeaver's statewide ranking, from a 4-star rating to a 2-star rating, suggests the school is facing challenges in effectively educating its student 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.
