Rock Mills Junior High School

Summary:

Rock Mills Junior High School is a small public school serving grades PK-8 in Roanoke, Alabama, with a student population of 167. The school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its lower test scores, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and relatively low statewide ranking compared to other schools in the region.

Rock Mills Junior High School has a student population that is over 90% white, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Its test scores are generally lower than the Randolph County and Alabama state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 18.75% compared to the county's 32.19% and the state's 42.16%. The school also has a high percentage of students (over 70%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population.

Compared to nearby schools like Wedowee Elementary and Woodland Elementary, Rock Mills Junior High School has lower test scores, a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and a lower overall ranking. These challenges may be unique to the school or the immediate community it serves, and addressing the underlying issues could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for its 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.
