Summary:
The Leland School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Leland School Park, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 264 students. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.1% to 60.4% in Mathematics and 17.6% to 31.3% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 39.7% to 42% and 51.8% to 57.2%, respectively.
Leland School Park has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi middle schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school serves a predominantly African American student population (91.67%) and has a very high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.6, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
Overall, the data highlights the significant academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by Leland School Park. The school's consistently low performance and lack of improvement over time suggest that addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors. Parents and the community may need to advocate for additional resources and support to help the school improve and provide a high-quality education for its students.
