Falkville High School

Summary:

Falkville High School is a public high school in Falkville, Alabama, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 411 students. The school is part of the Morgan County School District, which is ranked 50 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Falkville High School had a high 4-star rating in 2020-2021, its statewide ranking has since declined to only 2 stars in the current 2023-2024 school year, significantly lower than the nearby Priceville High School, which has maintained a 4-5 star rating. Falkville High School also has a much higher percentage of white students (93.67%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (63.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population compared to Cullman High School (31.29%) and Priceville High School (36.72%).

Falkville High School's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.2, higher than the nearby Hartselle High School (15.1) and Priceville High School (19.3), may also be a factor in the school's academic performance. These challenges, including declining academic performance, racial homogeneity, and socioeconomic disadvantages, suggest that the school and the Morgan County School District may need to focus on improving the educational experiences and outcomes for their students.

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.
