Coleman Middle School

Summary:

Coleman Middle School is a public middle school in Greenville, Mississippi, serving 373 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Coleman Middle School consistently performs significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in MAAP English Language Arts ranged from 13% to 16.8% at Coleman Middle School, compared to 39.7% to 42% statewide. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Mississippi for several years, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of all middle schools in the state. In the 2023-2024 school year, Coleman Middle School was ranked 255 out of 264 middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as T.L. Weston Middle School (also in the Greenville Public Schools district) and Simmons Junior High School (in the Hollandale School District), Coleman Middle School consistently underperforms on academic measures. This suggests that the challenges faced by Coleman Middle School may be unique or more pronounced than those of its neighbors, and that targeted interventions and a comprehensive review of the district's resource allocation may be necessary to address the persistent issues faced by 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.
