Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary School

Q: Is Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary School a good school?

Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary School ranks 273 rd of 390 Mississippi elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 373 students in grades PK-5 in Canton, Mississippi, which is part of the Canton Public School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty rates, and a student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the MAAP assessments, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 44.5%, compared to the state average of 57.7%. This performance gap is even more pronounced when compared to nearby higher-performing schools in the Madison County School District, such as Madison Station Elementary and Madison Avenue Upper Elementary, which have proficiency rates that are 30-50 percentage points higher than Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary.

The challenges faced by Jimmie M. Goodloe Elementary are likely exacerbated by its high poverty rate, as evidenced by the 100% free/reduced lunch rate, and its relatively high student-teacher ratio. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to consider strategies such as increased funding, smaller class sizes, targeted interventions, and partnerships with community organizations to address the unique needs of the 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.
