Alpha Hart Lewis

Summary:

Alpha Hart Lewis is an elementary school located in Columbia, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 486 students. The school is part of the Columbia 93 school district, which is ranked 191 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alpha Hart Lewis faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (26.75%) and multi-racial (16.26%) students. However, it consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 11.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 32.4% in the district and 41.1% statewide. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Alpha Hart Lewis spends more per student ($11,726 in 2021-2022) compared to the district average, this does not translate to higher academic performance. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade, with its ranking dropping from 760 out of 865 in 2015-2016 to 797 out of 898 in 2022-2023. This suggests a concerning trend of declining academic performance. In contrast, nearby schools like Ulysses S. Grant Elementary and John Ridgeway Elementary perform significantly better, with higher test scores and higher rankings within the state.

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.
