North Sand Mountain School

Summary:

North Sand Mountain School is an alternative public school in Higdon, Alabama, serving 692 students in grades PK-12 as part of the Jackson County school district. This unique school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Native American students compared to the state average and nearby schools, as well as its generally strong performance in English language arts (ELA) assessments.

While North Sand Mountain School outperforms the Jackson County and Alabama state averages in ELA, its mathematics performance is an area for improvement, with lower proficiency rates than the state average. Interestingly, when compared to the nearby Pisgah High School, North Sand Mountain School performs better in ELA but worse in mathematics and science. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Over the past three school years, North Sand Mountain School's test scores have fluctuated, with some grade levels showing improvements while others have declined. This highlights the need for a deeper analysis to identify the underlying factors driving these changes and to develop targeted interventions. By understanding the school's unique strengths, challenges, and the influence of socioeconomic factors, the school and district can work to support student success and ensure that all learners at North Sand Mountain School receive a quality education.

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.
