Vardaman Attendance Center

Summary:

Vardaman Attendance Center is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the small town of Vardaman, Mississippi, which is part of the Calhoun County School District. While the school's exact enrollment is not provided, its academic performance on state assessments shows a mixed picture compared to the district and state averages.

On one hand, Vardaman Attendance Center outperforms the district and state in some areas, such as 8th grade Science and Algebra I. However, the school struggles in other subjects like 5th grade Science and 7th grade English Language Arts, where its proficiency rates fall significantly behind the district and state. As an alternative school, Vardaman Attendance Center likely serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subjects.

Without more detailed information about the school's resources, programs, and specific student population, it is difficult to fully understand the factors behind Vardaman Attendance Center's academic outcomes. Nevertheless, the data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and ensure more consistent, high-quality instruction across all grade levels. Collaboration with the district and state education authorities may be crucial in identifying and implementing effective strategies to address the school's challenges.

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.
