Leakesville Elementary School

Summary:

Leakesville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Leakesville, Mississippi, with a student population of 408 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Greene County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key differentiating factors of Leakesville Elementary is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of White students (79.17%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of African American (17.65%) and Hispanic (0.74%) students. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 132 out of 397 elementary schools in 2018-2019 and 211 out of 390 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating varying between 2 and 3 stars. Interestingly, Leakesville Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sand Hill Elementary and Mc Lain Elementary in the Greene County School District, as well as Central Elementary, Lc Hatcher Elementary, and Rocky Creek Elementary in the George County School District, Leakesville Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a strength to build upon. However, the school's inconsistent performance on state assessments and the significant racial and economic disparities within its student population suggest the need for further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
