Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School

Summary:

Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Montgomery, Alabama, part of the Montgomery County school district. Despite the district's overall low ranking, Loveless has consistently been the #1 high school in Alabama for the past 10 years, with a diverse student population and exceptional academic performance.

Loveless significantly outperforms the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages on standardized tests, with 92.78% proficiency in Math, 94.85% in Science, and 100% in English, compared to just 15.05%, 26.05%, and 29.3% for Montgomery County, respectively. The school serves a more affluent student population, with only 13.15% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, much lower than the surrounding schools which range from 29.34% to 94.48%. Loveless also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.1, compared to the district average of 10 to 20.1 students per teacher.

Loveless's consistent top ranking, diverse student body, and stark contrast with nearby underperforming schools like Carver Senior High School and Lanier Senior High School raise questions about equity and access. However, the school's success also provides valuable insights into how to create high-performing, equitable educational opportunities, even in challenging district contexts like Montgomery County.

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.
