Carver Senior High School

Summary:

Carver Senior High School is a public high school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 902 students in grades 9-12. 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. Carver Senior High School has a predominantly African American student population (over 89% in the 2022-2023 school year).

Carver Senior High School consistently performs below the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 3.3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 15.05% for Montgomery County and 23.12% for the state. The school has been ranked in the bottom third of Alabama high schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 283 out of 378 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Carver Senior High School's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform better relative to other schools in the state, ranking 84 out of 231 and 73 out of 122 Alabama high schools, respectively.

Carver Senior High School's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby magnet schools like Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School and Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School, which consistently rank among the top schools in the state. This suggests that the academic challenges faced by Carver Senior High School are not solely due to its location or district, but rather a reflection of the specific challenges within the school, which may include factors such as higher rates of poverty and limited access to resources among its student population.

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.
