Albert P Brewer High School

Summary:

Albert P Brewer High School is a public high school serving 717 students in grades 9-12 in Somerville, Alabama, which is part of the Morgan County School District. While the district is ranked 50 out of 137 in the state, Albert P Brewer High School faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates below state and county averages in key subjects like math, science, and English.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with stronger results for special education and low-income students, but concerning outcomes for Hispanic students. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Priceville High School and Hartselle High School, Albert P Brewer High School lags behind in academic assessments, despite spending more per student and having a higher student-teacher ratio. The school's racial makeup is also less diverse, with a significantly higher percentage of White students compared to neighboring schools.

While the reasons for the school's academic challenges are not entirely clear, further investigation into the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems for struggling students could provide valuable insights to help improve performance and better serve the diverse needs of the student population.

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.
