McIntyre Comprehensive Academy

Summary:

McIntyre Comprehensive Academy is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Montgomery, Alabama, with a student population of 181 that is predominantly African American (97.24%).

Despite having significantly higher per-student spending ($38,362) compared to nearby high schools, McIntyre Comprehensive Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Alabama, with proficiency rates in core subjects like mathematics, science, and English language arts that are far below the Montgomery County and state averages. The school's student population also has an extremely high percentage (over 94%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. In contrast, nearby magnet schools like Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School and Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School have significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that the magnet school model may be more effective in supporting student success in the Montgomery area.

The stark performance gaps and racial disparities between McIntyre Comprehensive Academy and the surrounding high schools raise important questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement, as well as the need for targeted interventions to address the persistent challenges faced by this school and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Montgomery County school district.

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.
