Boyd Elementary School

Summary:

Boyd Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in Greenville, Mississippi, with a student population of 311. 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 Boyd Elementary is predominantly African American, with 97.75% of students identifying as such.

Despite its small class sizes, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 15.3 to 17.5 students per teacher, Boyd Elementary consistently underperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.6% of 5th-grade students at Boyd Elementary were proficient or better in MAAP/Mathematics, compared to 53.7% statewide. The school has maintained a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in Mississippi. Additionally, 100% of students at Boyd Elementary receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a high-poverty population.

While Boyd Elementary and other Greenville Public Schools perform poorly compared to the state, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Riverside Elementary and O'Bannon Elementary, demonstrate higher test scores and better statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just district or school location may be contributing to the academic performance of these schools, and addressing the complex challenges faced by Boyd Elementary will likely require a multifaceted approach targeting both academic and socioeconomic factors.

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.
