Maryvale Elementary School

Summary:

Maryvale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mobile, Alabama, serving 494 students in grades PK-5. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Maryvale Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (89.27%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 53.45% to 95.48% African American. Academically, Maryvale consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Alabama elementary schools, with a ranking between 576-644 out of 680-695 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is also significantly lower than the Mobile County and Alabama averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American, special education, and low socioeconomic status students.

While Maryvale Elementary is part of the same school district as nearby schools, its academic performance is notably lower. For example, W.H. Council Traditional School, located just 2.74 miles away, ranks in the top 5% of Alabama elementary schools and significantly outperforms Maryvale. With over 92% of Maryvale students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the high level of economic disadvantage among the student population may be a contributing factor to the school's poor academic outcomes. Addressing these challenges will require targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement at Maryvale Elementary.

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.
