Booker T Washington Intern. Studies

Summary:

Booker T Washington Intern. Studies is an elementary school in Clarksdale, Mississippi that serves 183 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Clarksdale Municipal School District, which is ranked 128 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Booker T Washington Intern. Studies faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance. The school has an overwhelmingly African American student population (over 99%) and 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than state and district averages, and the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Mississippi, between 342 and 381 out of 377-390 schools. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, these factors have not translated to improved educational outcomes for its students.

The challenges facing Booker T Washington Intern. Studies are not unique, as some nearby schools such as Kirkpatrick Health /Wellness and Geo H Oliver Visual/Perf. Arts also struggle with low academic achievement. This suggests that the issues within the Clarksdale Municipal School District may be contributing to the persistent low performance at Booker T Washington Intern. Studies. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, targeted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.

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.
