Vincent Elementary School

Summary:

Vincent Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 393 students in grades PK-5 in Vincent, Alabama, which is part of the Shelby County school district. While the district is ranked 31 out of 137 in the state, Vincent Elementary faces several challenges, including lower test scores, declining statewide rankings, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to the state and district averages, Vincent Elementary has a higher percentage of white and Hispanic students, but its test scores are generally lower across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.57% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 51.9% in Shelby County and 42.16% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 67.94% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Forest Oaks Elementary, Chelsea Park Elementary, and Mt Laurel Elementary.

Vincent Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 200 out of 688 Alabama elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 271 out of 684 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the Shelby County district. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and African American students outperforming white students. These challenges indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Vincent Elementary School.

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.
