Mount Olive Intermediate School

Summary:

Mount Olive Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Phenix City, Alabama, serving 307 students in grades 3-5 and part of the Russell County School District, which is ranked 94 out of 137 districts in the state.

Mount Olive Intermediate School has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Lakewood Elementary School and Lakewood Primary School. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts, is generally lower than the Russell County and Alabama state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 248th out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 386th out of 684 in 2023-2024, with a SchoolDigger rating between 2 and 3 stars out of 5.

One notable finding is the significant disparities in performance between student subgroups at Mount Olive Intermediate School. While the African American and Hispanic students perform better than the school's overall performance, the special education and military-connected student subgroups perform significantly worse. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students, ranging from 50% to 68.73%, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, strengthen instructional practices, and provide additional resources and support to meet the diverse needs of the student population.

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.
