Breitling Elementary School

Summary:

Breitling Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Bay, Alabama, serving 531 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.

Breitling Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of White students (86.06%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school generally performs better than the Mobile County and Alabama averages in English/Language Arts assessments, particularly in 5th grade. However, its math and science proficiency rates tend to lag behind the county and state averages. Breitling Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 276 and 387 out of 684-692 Alabama elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle to lower range compared to other schools in the state.

Interestingly, Breitling Elementary's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as White students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, are generally in the lower half of Alabama elementary schools, indicating potential achievement gaps. This, combined with the school's racial homogeneity, suggests that issues with equity and inclusion may warrant further investigation. While Breitling Elementary has strengths in English/Language Arts, the school should explore ways to apply similar strategies to improve math and science outcomes and address the inconsistencies in its statewide ranking.

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.
