While Coosa Middle School's statewide ranking has shown some improvement over the years, moving from a 2-star rating in the earlier years to a 3-star rating in more recent years, the school consistently underperforms in terms of test scores compared to the nearby schools. This suggests that Coosa may face unique challenges or have room for improvement in its educational practices and resources. The lower spending per student at Coosa Middle School compared to the nearby schools may be a contributing factor to its relatively lower performance, and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be an important consideration for the district.

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.
