Summary:
The city of Quinton, Alabama has only one public elementary school, West Jefferson Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in the Jefferson County school district, the school has consistently ranked in the middle range of Alabama elementary schools over the past three years.
West Jefferson Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, while others fall below in Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates range from 18.75% to 41.18% in Mathematics and 43.75% to 82.35% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39.31% to 45.47% and 60.93% to 67.41%, respectively. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.2 is slightly higher than the state average, and it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 49.54%.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $11,153, which is higher than the state average, the inconsistent academic performance suggests that the school may need to focus on allocating resources more effectively to support student learning across all grade levels and subjects. The socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's student population may also be a factor in its performance, and additional support and resources may be necessary to address these challenges and improve overall student outcomes.
