Ohatchee High School

Summary:

Ohatchee High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Ohatchee, Alabama, with a student population of 413. The school is part of the Calhoun County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ohatchee High School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Alabama high schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This is higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.22%) compared to the more diverse student populations of the surrounding schools, such as Alexandria High School and Wellborn High School. Additionally, Ohatchee High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.4% to 60.05% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by Ohatchee High School, the school has maintained a strong academic performance, outperforming many of the surrounding schools in core subject areas. This is a notable achievement and suggests that the school may have effective strategies in place to support its economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school could consider ways to promote greater diversity and inclusivity within its student body, as well as explore additional resources and support systems to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged students.

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.
