Reeltown High School

Summary:

Reeltown High School is a public high school located in Notasulga, Alabama, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 405 students. The school is part of the Tallapoosa County school district, which is ranked 70 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reeltown High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (74.07%) compared to nearby schools like Dadeville High School (48.85% white, 46.55% African American) and Booker T. Washington High (92.47% African American). Academically, Reeltown performs on par with or slightly above the Tallapoosa County and state averages in English Language Arts, but lags behind in math. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (65.43%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to some nearby schools like Elmore County High School (48.26%).

Reeltown High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a decline from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023, before rebounding to a 3-star rating in the current school year (2023-2024). This suggests potential challenges the school has faced in maintaining consistent academic performance. However, the school's African American students and low-socioeconomic status students have shown stronger academic performance compared to the overall school, ranking higher than the state averages in some areas. Compared to nearby schools, Reeltown's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly better than Dadeville High School and Tallassee High School, but lags behind Elmore County High 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.

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.
