Dozier Elementary School

Summary:

Dozier Elementary School is a public elementary school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 394 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 110 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dozier Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (91.88%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Alabama elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts well below the county and state averages. Additionally, over 80% of Dozier's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.7 to 19.7 over the past few years.

When comparing Dozier Elementary to nearby schools, similar patterns emerge. Many of the surrounding Montgomery County elementary schools have majority African American student populations and struggle with low academic achievement, often ranking in the bottom quarter of the state. High rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch are also prevalent across the district. These challenges suggest that the issues faced by Dozier Elementary are not unique but rather reflective of broader systemic problems within the local education system, requiring a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address the needs of students facing socioeconomic and racial disparities.

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.
