The school is part of the Lauderdale County School District, which is ranked 48 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Rogers Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.54%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in state assessments, is generally lower than the Lauderdale County and Alabama averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, Rogers Elementary had a 32.89% proficiency rate, compared to 48.63% for Lauderdale County and 42.16% for the state. Additionally, the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and white students, are lower than the overall school ranking, indicating achievement gaps within the school. Rogers Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students (60.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged population.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Lauderdale County district, Rogers Elementary generally underperforms academically.

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.
