Grenada Middle School

Summary:

Grenada Middle School is a public middle school in Grenada, Mississippi, serving 834 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Grenada School District, which is ranked 9th out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grenada Middle School consistently performs above the state average in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) test scores across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 40.9% to 48.1%, compared to the state average of 39.7% to 42%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 60.1% to 69.4%, significantly higher than the state average of 51.8% to 57.2%. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate of 66.7% also exceeds the state average of 59.1%. Grenada Middle School has consistently ranked among the top 25% of middle schools in Mississippi for several years.

Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 99% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) at Grenada Middle School, the school has been able to achieve academic success, which is a testament to the school's efforts in supporting its students. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 15.8 over the past three school years, also contributes to a more favorable learning environment for students. While the school is performing well, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas where the school's proficiency rates are closer to the state average, such as 7th-grade ELA.

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.
