Armstrong Elementary School

Summary:

Armstrong Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in Greenville, Mississippi, with a student population of 167. The school is part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student body at Armstrong Elementary is predominantly African American, with over 98% of students identifying as such in recent school years.

Armstrong Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Greenville Public Schools district and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.6% of 3rd graders at Armstrong were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.9% for the district and 57.7% for the state. The school has a very low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 10-15% of Mississippi elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, 100% of students at Armstrong Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Greenville Public Schools district and the surrounding area, Armstrong Elementary consistently underperforms on academic measures. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts at Armstrong was less than half the rate of nearby Akin Elementary (22.6% vs. 44.2%). This suggests that Armstrong Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and the socioeconomic status of its student population, which will be crucial to address in order to improve educational outcomes at the school.

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.
