Summary:

Alcorn Central Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Glen, Mississippi, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 514. The school is part of the Alcorn School District, which is ranked 34 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alcorn Central Elementary School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with the majority of its test scores exceeding the district and state averages over the past several years. In 2023-2024, 70.4% of 4th-grade students at Alcorn Central were proficient or better in MAAP ELA, compared to 59.1% for the Alcorn School District and 57.1% for the state of Mississippi. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 99% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Biggersville Elementary and Corinth Elementary School, Alcorn Central Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.44% in 2022-2023), which is in contrast to the more diverse student populations of these other schools. While Alcorn Central's academic performance is generally stronger than the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Kossuth Elementary School and Hills Chapel School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that Alcorn Central is not necessarily an outlier in the region.

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.
