Biggersville Elementary

Q: Is Biggersville Elementary a good school?

Biggersville Elementary ranks 153 rd of 390 Mississippi elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Biggersville Elementary is a public elementary school in Corinth, Mississippi, serving 313 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Alcorn School District, which is ranked 34 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Biggersville Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (81.15%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Alcorn Central Elementary and Kossuth Elementary, which generally outperform Biggersville on test scores and have higher statewide rankings. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, though 6th-grade students perform better in Mathematics. Biggersville Elementary also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Biggersville Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 122 out of 382 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 153 out of 390 in 2023-2024. The school's test scores also show significant fluctuations from year to year, with some grades performing well above the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet the benchmarks. To improve student outcomes, the school and Alcorn School District may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
