Summary:
The city of Quinton, Alabama has only one public elementary school, West Jefferson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 94 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 91.49% of students identifying as white. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the Jefferson County and state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels.
West Jefferson Elementary School has been ranked 384th out of 684 Alabama elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 372nd out of 687 schools in 2021-2022 to 414th out of 680 schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (48.94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, which is slightly lower than the state average. This suggests that the school may have the potential for improvement with targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population, which includes a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students and below-average academic performance across multiple subject areas.
