Montevallo Middle School

Summary:

Montevallo Middle School is a public middle school serving 369 students in grades 6-8 in Montevallo, Alabama, which is part of the Shelby County School District. While the school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance tends to lag behind the county and state averages.

Montevallo Middle School stands out for its racial diversity, with 40.92% White, 24.93% African American, and 29.81% Hispanic students, which is more diverse than the nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the county and state averages, with proficiency rates in mathematics ranging from 15.32% to 22.95% across grades 6-8, compared to the Shelby County averages of 29.95% to 40.05%. The school's English language arts proficiency rates are also lower than the county and state averages. Montevallo Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently ranking 200th out of 442 Alabama middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's diverse student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 57.22% to 77.78% over the past three years, may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance compared to the more homogeneous and higher-performing nearby schools, such as Helena Middle and Robert F. Bumpus Middle School. However, Montevallo Middle School's unique student population and ongoing challenges present opportunities for the school to develop targeted interventions and strategies to support student success and better serve its community.

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.
