Alma Bryant High School

Summary:

Alma Bryant High School is a public high school located in Irvington, Alabama, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,617 students. 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.

Alma Bryant High School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and county averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English are below the state and county averages, its performance in some subject areas, such as Science and English, has been closer to or above the county average in recent years. The school has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 71.68% White, 10.88% African American, 6.18% Hispanic, and 7.11% Asian. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for Hispanic students in Mathematics and English, but much lower for African American and multi-racial students.

Alma Bryant High School's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Lillie B. Williamson High School and Ben C. Rain High School, which have significantly lower proficiency rates and statewide rankings. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing W.P. Davidson High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 40 high schools in Alabama. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Alma Bryant High School, as well as the relatively low spending per student, suggest that the school may face challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can impact academic achievement.

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.
