Enterprise Middle School

Summary:

Enterprise Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Enterprise, Mississippi, with a student population of 265. The school is part of the Lauderdale County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Enterprise Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were significantly higher than the state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school has maintained a strong academic standing, ranking among the top 32 middle schools in Mississippi for the past several years and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for multiple years. Despite having a very high percentage of students (over 98%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, Enterprise Middle School has been able to deliver exceptional academic results, suggesting effective support and strategies for its student population.

While Southeast Lauderdale Middle School also demonstrates strong academic performance, the nearby schools in the Meridian Public Schools district, such as Northwest Junior High and Magnolia Middle School, have significantly lower proficiency rates and overall performance. This highlights the challenges faced by schools serving predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations, and understanding the specific barriers these schools face could inform strategies to support their improvement.

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.
