York West End Junior High School

Summary:

York West End Junior High School is an elementary school in Livingston, Alabama, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 187, of which 98.4% are African American. The school is part of the Sumter County School District, which is ranked 130 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

York West End Junior High School consistently performs significantly below the state and county averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 0% to 5.41%, compared to the state average of 22.06% to 42.16%. Similarly, the school's English proficiency rates ranged from 17.86% to 43.24%, compared to the state average of 51.27% to 62.8%. The school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 90.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 19.5 students per teacher, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The nearby Livingston Junior High School, which is also part of the Sumter County School District, performs slightly better than York West End Junior High School in some academic areas, but still lags behind state averages. In contrast, the University Charter School Elementary, which is in a different district, significantly outperforms both Sumter County schools in academic achievement.

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.
