Summary:

North Gulfport Elementary And Middl is a public school serving 1,060 students in grades K-8 in Gulfport, Mississippi, which is part of the Harrison County School District. While the district is ranked 16th out of 130 in the state and has a 4-star rating, North Gulfport Elementary And Middl appears to be struggling, with lower test scores, a low statewide ranking, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to the district and state averages, North Gulfport Elementary And Middl's test scores are generally lower across all grade levels and subjects. For example, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 63.2%, compared to 72.2% for the district and 57.7% for the state, and its 8th grade Math proficiency rate was 23.5%, compared to 54.5% for the district and 55.3% for the state. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing 278th out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools in 2023-2024 and 263rd out of 377 in 2022-2023, with a 1-star and 2-star rating, respectively.

When comparing North Gulfport Elementary And Middl to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Bel Aire Elementary School, Crossroads Elementary School, and Anniston Avenue Elementary School, it generally performs worse on test scores and has a lower statewide ranking. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is predominantly African American, which is consistent with the nearby schools in the Gulfport School District, suggesting potential racial achievement gaps. The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 99%, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
