Thurgood Marshall Middle School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 87.36% African American, significantly higher than the state average. The school consistently performs below state and county averages in standardized test scores, with only 5.88% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 31.56%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as special education students, who ranked 269 out of 274 Alabama middle schools in the 2020-2021 school year. Additionally, over 90% of Thurgood Marshall Middle School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

In contrast, the nearby Brewton Middle School has a more balanced racial composition, with 62.6% White and 31.02% African American students, and performs much better academically. Thurgood Marshall Middle School's spending per student is also significantly higher than Brewton Middle School's, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources. Addressing the challenges at Thurgood Marshall Middle School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional quality, providing targeted interventions, and addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success.

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.
