Boyd Elementary School

Summary:

Boyd Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jackson, Mississippi, serving 405 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Jackson Public School District, which is ranked 110 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and slightly higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, Boyd Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Mississippi, with only 19.1% of 3rd graders, 33.3% of 4th graders, and 23.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, far below the state averages. The school's student population is predominantly African American (over 90%) and all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate.

While other nearby schools, such as Casey Elementary, Walton Elementary, and North Jackson Elementary, also serve predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations, they generally outperform Boyd Elementary on state assessments, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes.

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.
