Fitzpatrick Elementary School

Summary:

Fitzpatrick Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Montgomery, Alabama, with a student population of 363. 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.

Fitzpatrick Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. Its proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts are significantly lower than the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels. The school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Fitzpatrick Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 18.4 over the past three years, which is higher than the ratios of many nearby schools.

When comparing Fitzpatrick Elementary to other schools in the Montgomery area, it stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools. For example, Bear Exploration Center and MacMillan International at McKee, both magnet schools in the district, significantly outperform Fitzpatrick Elementary in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. While Fitzpatrick Elementary's per-student spending of $10,000 in 2018-2019 is on par with or slightly higher than the spending at nearby schools, the high student-teacher ratio could be a contributing factor to the school's struggles.

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.
