Delta Charter School MST

Summary:

Delta Charter School MST is an alternative public charter school located in Ferriday, Louisiana, serving 498 students in grades K-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White (58.03%) and African American (39.76%) students.

While Delta Charter School MST generally performs below the state average in both mathematics and English language arts, the school does outperform the state in 4th grade mathematics and 5th grade English language arts. However, the school struggles particularly in 8th grade mathematics, where only 20% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of 48%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.94% to 63.45%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Harrisonburg High School (41.48%) and Monterey High School (54.29%). Despite these challenges, Delta Charter School MST maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, comparable to the nearby schools.

The inconsistent performance across grade levels at Delta Charter School MST suggests that the school may face challenges in providing consistent, high-quality instruction. Additionally, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance. As the school continues to serve the Ferriday community, it may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its diverse student population and improve student outcomes across all grade levels.

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.
