The 15 elementary schools chosen for a new turnaround initiative are among the academically lowest-performing in the state, have a majority-Black student body, and have a majority of students eligible for free/reduced-price meals, an indicator of poverty.
Fifteen of Alabama’s most challenged elementary schools are getting a multimillion-dollar infusion of support through a new initiative championed by Gov. Kay Ivey.
State Superintendent Eric Mackey said the communities where the schools are located are dealing with high levels of poverty and “overwhelming” needs.Many of the schools, located primarily in urban and rural areas, are already receiving some support from the Alabama Department of Education. The initiative will test whether support for the community outside of the school can improve student achievement inside the school.“We’re not coming in, spending a bunch of money, and the next year everybody’s test scores are great and we move on to other communities,” Mackey said. “We don’t expect everything to work immediately.”
The 15 schools chosen for the initiative are similar in a number of ways, besides being among the academically lowest-performing in the state. Every school has a majority-Black student body and more than six in 10 students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, an indicator of poverty.
