S V Marshall Elementary School

Summary:

S V Marshall Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Mississippi, serving around 230 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Holmes County Consolidated School District, which is ranked 120 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

S V Marshall Elementary School has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 40.6% in English Language Arts and 34.4% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 57.7% and 53.3%, respectively. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 14.3 students per teacher, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

The school's student population is overwhelmingly African American, with over 99% of students identifying as such in the most recent school year. Additionally, the school has a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These demographic factors may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income and minority backgrounds often face additional barriers to educational success. Nearby schools, such as Durant Elementary School and William Dean Junior Elementary School, which are also part of the Holmes County Consolidated School District, have slightly higher proficiency rates in some subject areas and grade levels, but all three schools in the district perform significantly below the state averages.

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.
