Summary:

Enterprise Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Enterprise, Mississippi, with a student population of 394 and part of the highly-ranked Lauderdale County School District.

Enterprise Elementary consistently performs well above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 72.7% of 3rd graders and 83.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 57.7% and 57.1% respectively. In Mathematics, 45.5% of 3rd graders and 85.5% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 53.3% and 55%. This exceptional academic performance is particularly noteworthy given that over 99% of Enterprise Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,199 is lower than nearby schools, suggesting Enterprise Elementary is effectively utilizing its resources.

Interestingly, Enterprise Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.61%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools in the Meridian Public Schools and Quitman School District. This racial homogeneity is an intriguing factor that may influence the school's culture and teaching approaches. Despite this, Enterprise Elementary has maintained a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranks in the top 25% of Mississippi elementary schools, outperforming many of its counterparts in the region.

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.
