Summary:
The city of Cuba, Alabama has only one school, Kinterbish Junior High School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 114 students. The school is part of the Sumter County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 134 districts in the state of Alabama and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Kinterbish Junior High School stands out for its high percentage of African American students (94.74%), extremely low test scores in mathematics (0% to 4.23% proficient) and English language arts (6.67% to 29.41% proficient), and an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (85.09%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,753, its academic performance remains poor, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation and utilization.
The data reveals concerning trends, including consistently low academic performance, a widening achievement gap between the school and county/state averages, and the need to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. To improve outcomes, the school and district leadership should consider a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, teacher quality, and resource allocation, as well as targeted interventions and support for students, and community engagement to address non-academic barriers to student success.
