ChastangFournier Middle School

Summary:

ChastangFournier Middle School is a public elementary school located in Mobile, Alabama, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 551. The school is part of the Mobile County school district, which is ranked 96 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

ChastangFournier Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 590-656 out of 680-692 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 6.25% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 30.58% in the Mobile County district and 42.16% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for its African American, male, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama schools for these subgroups.

In contrast, nearby schools in the Mobile County district, such as Old Shell Road Magnet School and Whitley Elementary School, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by ChastangFournier Middle School are not necessarily shared by all schools in the district, and there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools.

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.
