Dadeville High School

Summary:

Dadeville High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Dadeville, Alabama, with a total enrollment of 522 students. The school is part of the Tallapoosa County School District, which is ranked 70th out of 137 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Dadeville High School has a relatively balanced racial composition, with 48.85% White, 46.55% African American, and smaller percentages of other races. However, the school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Alabama high schools, with a 1-star rating in the most recent school year. Its performance on state assessments is generally below the Tallapoosa County and Alabama averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.73% to 78.74% over the past three school years, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families.

Compared to the nearby Loachapoka High School and Reeltown High School, Dadeville High School generally underperforms on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. However, Dadeville High School's student-teacher ratio is lower than these schools, which could be an advantage. The school's diverse student population and relatively low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged as strengths to drive improvement, but targeted interventions and support focused on addressing the specific needs of the school's student population may be necessary to improve academic outcomes.

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.
