Morningview Elementary School

Summary:

Morningview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 448 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Morningview Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (62.95%) and Hispanic (29.69%), and a very high percentage (over 85%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Alabama, with proficiency rates well below the state and county averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 12.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in mathematics, compared to the state average of 42.16%. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.1 to 17.9 over the past few years, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

While the nearby schools in the Montgomery County School District also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, Morningview Elementary School consistently performs worse than its peers. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges that require a more tailored approach to improvement. The school's consistently low academic performance, coupled with the racial and socioeconomic disparities, highlights the need for targeted interventions and a more comprehensive approach to addressing the unique needs of the school and its 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.
