Corinth Elementary School

Q: Is Corinth Elementary School a good school?

Corinth Elementary School ranks 239 th of 390 Mississippi elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Corinth Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Corinth, Mississippi, part of the Alcorn School District. With a diverse student population, the school faces significant challenges, including a consistently high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, lower test scores compared to the state and nearby schools like Iuka Elementary and Anderson Elementary, and a declining statewide ranking.

Corinth Elementary's racial diversity is a notable strength, with a student population that is 44.97% White, 31.01% African American, and 12.69% Hispanic. However, the persistently high poverty levels, as indicated by the over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest significant economic challenges in the community that may impact student learning and achievement. The school's higher student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools may also contribute to its lower academic performance.

The data indicates that Corinth Elementary School is struggling to keep up with academic performance standards, with its proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the state averages and the scores of nearby schools. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 87th out of 402 schools in 2014-2015 to 239th out of 390 schools in the most recent 2023-2024 ranking, further highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of these challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
