Kossuth Middle School

Q: Is Kossuth Middle School a good school?

Kossuth Middle School ranks 69 th of 264 Mississippi middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Kossuth Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Alcorn School District in Corinth, Mississippi, with a student population of 381 and a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, Kossuth Middle School has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Mississippi.

Kossuth Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Alcorn School District and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Kossuth Middle School's 7th grade math proficiency rate was 68%, compared to 71% for the Alcorn School District and 57.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 15.1 over the past three school years, which is lower than the surrounding schools like R.H. Long Booneville Middle School and Alcorn Central Middle School.

However, Kossuth Middle School's student population is significantly less diverse than the surrounding schools, with over 95% of the students being white. This raises questions about the school's ability to provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 99%, suggests that the school serves a community with significant economic challenges, which may have implications for the resources and support available to students and their families. When compared to the nearby Corinth Middle School, which has a more diverse student population but lower academic performance, Kossuth Middle School's strengths and challenges become more apparent.

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.
