Matthews Elementary School

Summary:

Matthews Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Northport, Alabama, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 401. The school is part of the Tuscaloosa County School District, which is ranked 90 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Matthews Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Alabama elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 548 and 675 out of 680-695 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the Tuscaloosa County and Alabama averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and slightly higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools could be assets if leveraged effectively.

The performance of Matthews Elementary School stands in stark contrast to some of the nearby schools in the Tuscaloosa area, such as FaucettVestavia Elementary School and Verner Elementary School, which consistently rank in the top 20-25% of Alabama elementary schools and significantly outperform Matthews on state assessments. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the racial/ethnic composition of the student population at Matthews Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, but other factors may also be at play, as evidenced by the slightly better performance of Crestmont Elementary School, which has a similar student demographic profile.

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.

My child has had some of the WORST experiences at this school. Not only are there constant bullying by students, even some of the teachers possess this kind of behavior as well. You believe that when you send your child to school, the school will show better professionalism in what they do. The school rating is exact ( 2 out of 10 ). The school's progress has dropped tremendously. And the academics does not even land on the chart in learning. But yet, this school is in operation. 97% of the students that attend there is barley learning. Because 95% of the teachers are not teaching anything valuable to the students. The last high scoring the school had was of 2010. And yet, it is dropping persistently. My child has lost an interest of attending school, because the the actions and behaviors of some students, and sadly some teachers as well. The school's bathrooms are unsanitary, the dining room tables are constantly dirty during lunch hours. And a lot of the school's staff is VERY impolite. The best thing that should be done, is having the State take over, and a questionnaire be sent home to each parent expressing there concerns about this school. And hoping for a BETTER change for the students. And teaching the teachers how to be better educators. There are parents who wants to be very involved with their child's learning. But the school's staff makes it very hard for the parents to have that advantage to do so. This school is suppose to have an open-door policy, but if the school's director feels that they don't want you to have that advantage to do so, they will change the rules, becoming very unorthodox in their behavior. I would advise ANY and ALL parents to think twice before allowing your child, or children to attend here. Your child will have a greater chance loosing self hope and interest after being at this school. With Great Regards. Disappointed Parent. Close Quote

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.
