Best Public Schools in Flat Rock, AL

Summary:

The city of Flat Rock, Alabama has only one public school, Flat Rock School, which serves students from elementary through middle school grades. Flat Rock School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, currently holding a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Alabama elementary schools.

Flat Rock School's test scores show a mixed performance, with some areas of strength, such as 3rd and 8th grade English Language Arts, and areas of concern, like 5th grade Mathematics. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% and a high percentage (70.09%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest potential challenges in addressing the needs of the student population. While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are within reasonable ranges, it's unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement.

Compared to the Jackson County and Alabama state averages, Flat Rock School's performance is mixed, with some areas above average and others below. The data suggests that Flat Rock School is an average-performing elementary school with room for improvement, and further investigation may be needed to understand the factors contributing to the school's strengths and weaknesses.
