Montevallo Elementary School

Summary:

Montevallo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in Montevallo, Alabama, which is part of the Shelby County School District. The school has a diverse student population, with 41.92% White, 24.3% African American, and 31.91% Hispanic students.

Despite being part of the Shelby County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 137 districts in the state, Montevallo Elementary School has consistently performed below the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics were 35.2% for 3rd grade, 51.33% for 4th grade, and 30.17% for 5th grade, compared to the Shelby County averages of 51.9%, 53.63%, and 51.53%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (77.04%) compared to nearby schools like Helena Elementary (30.3%) and Helena Intermediate (28.78%).

While Montevallo Elementary School has a relatively lower student-teacher ratio of 17 compared to nearby schools, its performance data suggests that the school faces unique challenges that the Shelby County School District should investigate and address. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, and its performance data shows significant disparities in academic achievement between different racial/ethnic groups, as well as struggles in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) students. These findings indicate that Montevallo Elementary School may require targeted interventions and support to improve 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.
