Double Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Double Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Double Springs, Alabama, with a student population of 360. The school is part of the Winston County School District, which is ranked 41 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's relatively strong performance, Double Springs Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools over the past 10 years, with below-average scores on state assessments in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, only 43.33% of 3rd graders and 27.87% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 54.3% and 43.95% for the Winston County district, and 42.16% and 38.32% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students and special education students performing relatively better than their peers.

Interestingly, the nearby Addison Elementary, Meek Elementary, and Lynn Elementary schools, all within the Winston County School District, generally outperform Double Springs Elementary on state assessments. For instance, in 2023-2024, Meek Elementary had 75% of 3rd graders and 73.08% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly higher than the results at Double Springs. Despite the higher spending per student at Double Springs Elementary compared to some nearby schools, these academic outcomes suggest that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to improve student performance at the 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.

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.
