Lewisburg Intermediate

Summary:

Lewisburg Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Olive Branch, Mississippi, with 583 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.6. The school is part of the Desoto County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lewisburg Intermediate consistently outperforms the Desoto County School District and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores, with 85.5% of 4th graders and 76.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.4% and 57.1% for the district and state, respectively. Similarly, the school had 84.8% of 4th graders and 83.9% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 61.4% and 55% for the district and state. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.93%) compared to nearby schools like Olive Branch Elementary and Pleasant Hill Elementary, which have more diverse student populations.

Interestingly, while Lewisburg Intermediate outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools, such as Olive Branch Intermediate and Desoto Central Elementary, have lower proficiency rates, suggesting that Lewisburg Intermediate may be an outlier within the district. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students (99.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Lewisburg Intermediate, as well as at many of the other nearby schools, indicates that the school district may be serving a predominantly low-income population, which could have implications for resource allocation and student support.

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.
