F S Ervin Elementary School

Summary:

F S Ervin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pine Hill, Alabama, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 191. The school is part of the Wilcox County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

F S Ervin Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of ABC Elementary and J E Hobbs Elementary, which also serve predominantly African American student populations and have similarly low academic performance and rankings compared to the state. However, Monroe Intermediate School and Thomasville Elementary School, which are in different districts, have higher academic performance and rankings. The school's high percentage of African American students, which is 97.91%, is correlated with its low academic performance, a concerning trend seen across the state and country.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,046 in the 2018-2019 school year, its academic performance remains significantly below the Wilcox County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.7 to 15.2 over the past three school years, does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond class size may be more important in driving student achievement. Addressing the challenges faced by F S Ervin Elementary School will require a multifaceted approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding and focuses on improving the quality of instruction, curriculum, and school leadership.

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.
