Winterboro High School

Summary:

Winterboro High School is a public high school located in Alpine, Alabama, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 361 students. The school is part of the Talladega County School District, which is ranked 76th out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winterboro High School has a more balanced racial composition compared to nearby schools, with 48.48% White, 46.54% African American, and smaller percentages of other races. However, the school consistently underperforms the Talladega County and Alabama state averages in standardized test scores, with only 7.32% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 12.75% in Talladega County and 23.12% statewide. Additionally, Winterboro High School has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.87% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite its unique diversity, Winterboro High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This places it among the lower-performing schools in the state, and the school's academic challenges are further highlighted by its lower performance compared to Talladega County Central High and BB Comer Memorial High School, which are also part of the Talladega County School District. The high percentage of low-income students at Winterboro High School may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, and targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners.

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.
