Summary:
Leland School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Edna M Scott Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with a predominantly African American student population and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Edna M Scott Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5 for the 2023-2024 school year. Its academic performance, as measured by MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) test scores, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 29.4% (4th grade) to 48.9% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 57.1% and 57.7%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 31.3% (4th grade) to 41.8% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 55% and 53.3%.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is slightly lower than the state average and may indicate a relatively favorable learning environment. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,507, which is slightly above the state average. These factors suggest that there may be opportunities to leverage existing resources and implement targeted interventions to improve the academic performance and overall outcomes for students at Edna M Scott Elementary School within the Leland School District.
