Mississippi School For The Deaf

Summary:

The Mississippi School for the Deaf is an alternative public school in Jackson, Mississippi that serves 78 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students and students from low-income families compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Sumner Hill Junior High School and Rosa Scott School.

While the school's test scores are lower than the state and district averages, it performs better in U.S. History compared to the surrounding schools. The school's specialized focus and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it may be providing a tailored education to meet the unique needs of its student population. However, the lower academic performance indicates that there is still room for improvement in student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 96.15%, suggests that it may have access to additional funding and resources to support its specialized mission.

Overall, the Mississippi School for the Deaf appears to be serving a unique and underserved population of students, with a focus on providing specialized education and support. While the school's academic performance may be lower than the state average, its specialized mission and the challenges faced by its student population should be taken into account when evaluating its performance. The school is part of the Mississippi Schls For The Deaf And The Blind district, which also includes the Mississippi School For The Blind.

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.
