Collins Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Collins Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Scottsboro, Alabama, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 532 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English/Language Arts and Science proficiency, but faces challenges in Mathematics. With a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-need student population.

Collins Intermediate School's test scores are a strength, with students outperforming the state average in English/Language Arts across all grade levels and in Science as well. However, Mathematics proficiency is an area for improvement, with scores ranging from 38-52% proficient or better. The school has also seen a decline in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, from 17.9% to 12.3%, which is a positive sign. Compared to nearby schools like Scottsboro Junior High School, Collins Intermediate School has a similar performance profile, with strong English/Language Arts scores but lower Mathematics and Science proficiency.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Collins Intermediate School, ranging from 51.21% to 61.04%, suggests a relatively high-need student population, which may contribute to the school's performance challenges in certain subject areas. However, the school's higher per-student spending compared to Scottsboro Junior High School may indicate a greater investment in resources and support for the younger students at the intermediate school level.
