Public Grades

Summary

Kinterbish Junior High School is an elementary school located in Cuba, Alabama, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 94.74% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Kinterbish Junior High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Sumter County. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in mathematics for grades 3-7 and single-digit proficiency rates in English language arts, significantly lagging behind the state and county averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its African American and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking 400 out of 427 and 578 out of 623 Alabama elementary schools, respectively.

While Kinterbish Junior High School spends approximately $12,753 per student, which is higher than the state average, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as York West End Junior High School and Livingston Junior High School, also perform poorly on state assessments and have low statewide rankings, suggesting a broader issue within the Sumter County School District. In contrast, University Charter School Elementary, located approximately 16.8 miles away, demonstrates significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in mathematics and English language arts.
