Oak Mountain Intermediate School

Summary:

Oak Mountain Intermediate School is a highly-regarded public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Shelby County school district in Birmingham, Alabama. With a diverse student population and a consistent track record of academic excellence, this school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and is consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state.

One of the key factors that sets Oak Mountain Intermediate School apart is its exceptional academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the state and county averages in standardized test scores across all subject areas, with 67.68% of 4th-grade students and 68.6% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 53.63% and 51.53% for Shelby County, and 38.32% and 37.13% for the state of Alabama, respectively. This high level of achievement extends across various student subgroups, including White, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Another notable aspect of Oak Mountain Intermediate School is its efficient use of resources. Despite having a lower per-student spending of $9,015 in the 2018-2019 school year compared to nearby Hoover City schools, which spend between $11,343 and $13,472 per student, the school has been able to achieve exceptional academic results. This suggests that the school is effectively allocating its resources to support student learning. While Oak Mountain Intermediate School outperforms the state and county averages, it is worth noting that some nearby schools in the Hoover City and Vestavia Hills City districts, such as Greystone Elementary and Vestavia Hills Elementary Dolly Ridge, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance and state rankings, indicating a strong commitment to education in the Birmingham metropolitan area.

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.
