Lott Middle School

Summary:

Lott Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Citronelle, Alabama, with a student population of 429 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several key challenges, including declining academic performance, significant disparities in student subgroup outcomes, and a high-poverty student population.

Lott Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of White (59.21%) and Native American (16.08%) students compared to the surrounding schools and the state average, but lower percentages of African American (13.52%) and Hispanic (3.03%) students. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in Summative Assessments, is generally lower than the Mobile County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th grade math proficiency rate was 20%, compared to 23.77% for Mobile County and 31.56% for the state.

When compared to the nearby Saraland Middle School (in the Saraland City district) and Semmes Middle School (also in the Mobile County district), Lott Middle School lags behind in both academic performance and overall statewide ranking. The school's extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (over 82%) suggests that it faces significant challenges in supporting its economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.

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.
