Aliceville High School

Summary:

Aliceville High School is a public high school in Aliceville, Alabama, serving grades 7-12 with 347 students. The school is part of the Pickens County School District, which is ranked 109 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Aliceville High School stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (over 98%) compared to nearby Gordo High School and Pickens County High School, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Aliceville High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Alabama high schools, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below state and county averages. Additionally, around 90% of Aliceville High School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student body.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,223 in 2018-2019) than nearby Gordo High School ($9,349 in 2018-2019), Aliceville High School's academic performance remains low. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and that other factors, such as effective resource allocation and targeted interventions, may be necessary to improve student outcomes. The school's higher student-teacher ratio (25:1) compared to Gordo High School (20.6:1) and Pickens County High School (16.4:1) may also contribute to its persistent low performance.

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.
