McIntosh High School

Summary:

McIntosh High School is a public high school located in Mc Intosh, AL, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Washington County School District, which is ranked 88 out of 137 districts in Alabama and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

McIntosh High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (60%) and Native American (20.54%), and consistently underperforms compared to state and county averages in academic assessments. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American students ranking relatively well (161 out of 231 high schools), but male students and low-socioeconomic status students ranking very low (367 out of 368 and 356 out of 375 high schools, respectively). Additionally, McIntosh High School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.29% to 90.81% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the 65.52% rate at the nearby Washington County High School.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from a high of 191 out of 371 high schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 354 out of 378 high schools in 2023-2024, suggests that it is struggling to keep up with academic standards and performance compared to other high schools in Alabama. While the nearby Citronelle High School in the Mobile County district also faces some academic challenges, it outperforms McIntosh High School across various metrics, indicating that there may be opportunities for McIntosh High School to learn from the practices and strategies employed at other schools to improve its own performance and address the unique 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.
