New Albany Senior High School

Summary:

New Albany Senior High School is a public high school serving 1,812 students in grades 9-12 in New Albany, Indiana, which is part of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School District. While the school has a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of African American and Hispanic students, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school has seen a steady improvement in its graduation rates, which are now higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Floyd Central High School and William W. Borden High School, New Albany Senior High School has lower test scores and a higher chronic absenteeism rate, which may indicate challenges in engaging and supporting its diverse student population. The school's higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds suggests a need for additional funding and resources to address the unique needs of this population and support their academic success.

Despite these challenges, the school's performance in certain areas, such as the academic achievement of its African American and Hispanic students, suggests that it may be providing additional support or resources for these groups, which could be an area of strength to build upon. Overall, the analysis of New Albany Senior High School reveals a school with a diverse student population, some areas of academic strength, and opportunities for improvement in areas such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation to support its students' success.

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.
