Monroeville Elementary School

Summary:

Monroeville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 420 students in grades PK-4 in Monroeville, Alabama, which is part of the Monroe County school district. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (86.9%) compared to the state average, and consistently performs below state and county averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and science.

Monroeville Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with only 20.29% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 42.16%. The school's performance is especially low for male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 25% of Alabama elementary schools. In contrast, the school's African American students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of Alabama elementary schools in recent years.

The school's challenges extend beyond academics, as it has a high percentage of students (over 79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Additionally, Monroeville Elementary School's ranking has declined over time, from 269 out of 688 Alabama elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 581 out of 684 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's leadership, resource allocation, and overall educational environment. Addressing these issues will require a collaborative effort between the school, the Monroe County district, and the local community.

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.
