Blount Elementary School

Summary:

Blount Elementary School is a public elementary school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 375 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Montgomery County School District. The school has a relatively diverse student population and consistently ranks in the top half of Alabama elementary schools, but faces challenges in supporting the academic growth of certain student subgroups.

Blount Elementary stands out for its diverse student body, with 19.73% White, 47.2% African American, 5.6% Hispanic, and 24.53% Asian students. Academically, the school performs well, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the Montgomery County and Alabama averages, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and English Language Learner students ranking among the top in the state, while low-socioeconomic status and male students struggle.

Interestingly, while Blount Elementary maintains a 3-star rating, its statewide ranking has declined from 129th in 2018-2019 to 286th in 2023-2024, suggesting its performance may be improving at a slower rate compared to other schools in Alabama. Additionally, the nearby Pike Road Elementary School, which is in a different district, significantly outperforms Blount Elementary across multiple metrics, despite the school's generally strong performance within the Montgomery County School District.

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.
