Saint Clair County High School

Summary:

Saint Clair County High School is a public high school serving 622 students in grades 9-12 in Odenville, Alabama, which is part of the St Clair County school district.

While Saint Clair County High School has a higher percentage of White students (73.15%) and African American students (18.65%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school's proficiency rates in Math (18.94%), Science (29.55%), and English (33.08%) are all lower than the district and state averages. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently standing at 125th out of 378 high schools with a 3-star rating. Notably, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students and African American students performing better than female students and White students, respectively.

These challenges are concerning, as Saint Clair County High School's academic performance has declined over the years, and it generally underperforms compared to nearby schools like Springville High School. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (58.52%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic struggles. Addressing these issues, including equity and inclusion concerns, will be crucial for Saint Clair County High School to improve and provide a better educational experience 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.
