Randolph County High School

Summary:

Randolph County High School is a public high school in Wedowee, Alabama, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 468 students. The school is part of the Randolph County School District, which is ranked 74th out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Randolph County High School has a predominantly white student population, with 68.59% white students, which is lower than the nearby Ranburne High School (98.48% white) but higher than Central High School of Clay County (70.99% white) and Woodland High School (81.72% white). However, the school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama high schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts ranging from 8-52% across different grade levels and subject areas.

Randolph County High School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby Ranburne High School (55.49%) and Woodland High School (57.71%), but similar to Central High School of Clay County (70.8%). This high poverty rate suggests that the school may face significant challenges in addressing the educational needs of its 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.
