CF Vigor High School

Summary:

CF Vigor High School is a public high school located in Prichard, Alabama, serving 547 students in grades 9-12. 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.

CF Vigor High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 97.07% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 56.29% to 95.49% African American. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama high schools, with a 0-1 star rating over the past several years. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like WP Davidson High School and Saraland High School, which have higher rankings and ratings. CF Vigor High School's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English are also significantly lower than the Mobile County and Alabama state averages.

The school's high percentage of students (over 86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 17.6 over the past few years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The persistent underperformance and low rankings of CF Vigor High School compared to its neighbors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population and improve educational opportunities.

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.
