Carroll High School

Summary:

Carroll High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Ozark, Alabama, which is part of the Ozark City School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 100 out of 353 high schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 221 out of 366 high schools in 2018-2019.

One key differentiator of Carroll High School is its relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 41.54% White, 46.55% African American, 6.74% Hispanic, and 1.41% Asian. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the state and nearby district averages, such as Headland High School and Wicksburg High School. Additionally, Carroll High School has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Carroll High School has performed relatively well in serving its special education students, ranking 42 out of 198 Alabama high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance on state assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, indicating the need to address achievement gaps between racial and socioeconomic groups. By closely examining the school's strengths, weaknesses, and comparisons to nearby high-performing schools, the school and district can develop strategies to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for all 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.
