Calloway County Alternative Program

Summary:

Calloway County Alternative Program is a public virtual high school located in Murray, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 86 students. The school is part of the Calloway County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calloway County Alternative Program consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky high schools in terms of overall academic performance, with proficiency rates significantly below the Calloway County and Kentucky state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 11% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 55% in Calloway County High School and 44% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking very low for female, male, White, and low-socioeconomic status students.

Calloway County Alternative Program's 4-year graduation rate of 87.3% for the 2023-2024 school year is lower than the 93.8% rate at the nearby Calloway County High School. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in its student-teacher ratio, from 21.5 in 2020-2021 to 86 in 2022-2023, indicating a potential challenge in providing personalized attention to students. Compared to the nearby Murray High School and Calloway County High School, both ranked in the top 25-35 high schools in Kentucky, Calloway County Alternative Program's academic performance lags significantly behind.

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.
