This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

French Camp Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its consistent 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and its students' exceptional performance on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 4th-grade students achieved 80% proficiency in English Language Arts and 89.4% proficiency in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages of 57.1% and 55%, respectively.

This consistent academic achievement is a testament to the school's effective teaching practices and strong curriculum.

While French Camp Elementary School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's racial composition is notably different from the state and district averages, with a higher percentage of white students (77.68%) and a lower percentage of African American students (19.64%). This raises questions about the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on the school's academic performance and the need to ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students. When compared to nearby schools, such as Ackerman Elementary and Weir Elementary in the Choctaw County School District, French Camp Elementary School consistently outperforms them in academic achievement, providing a model for other schools to aspire to.

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.
