Airport Road Intermediate School

Summary:

Airport Road Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Coosada, Alabama, serving 536 students in grades 3-4 and part of the Elmore County School District, which is ranked 42 out of 137 districts in the state.

While Airport Road Intermediate School has a relatively diverse student population, with 45.52% White, 38.62% African American, 8.58% Hispanic, and 6.34% two or more races, its academic performance is slightly below the Elmore County and Alabama state averages. However, the school performs particularly well for its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 40% of Alabama elementary schools, respectively. This is a notable strength compared to the school's overall performance. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 55.32% in 2021-2022 to 75.93% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Elmore County district, Airport Road Intermediate School generally performs below Holtville Elementary School and Wetumpka Elementary School in terms of academic proficiency and statewide rankings. This indicates an opportunity for Airport Road Intermediate School to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the area. Additionally, the school's declining performance trend, with its statewide ranking dropping from 184 in 2015-2016 to 251 in 2023-2024, suggests a need to address academic challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
