Kinterbish Junior High School

Summary:

Kinterbish Junior High School is an elementary school located in Cuba, Alabama, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 94.74% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Kinterbish Junior High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Sumter County. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in mathematics for grades 3-7 and single-digit proficiency rates in English language arts, significantly lagging behind the state and county averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its African American and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking 400 out of 427 and 578 out of 623 Alabama elementary schools, respectively.

While Kinterbish Junior High School spends approximately $12,753 per student, which is higher than the state average, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as York West End Junior High School and Livingston Junior High School, also perform poorly on state assessments and have low statewide rankings, suggesting a broader issue within the Sumter County School District. In contrast, University Charter School Elementary, located approximately 16.8 miles away, demonstrates significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in mathematics and English language arts.

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.
