Raines Elementary School

Summary:

Raines Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jackson, Mississippi, serving 224 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Raines Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the state and district across all grade levels. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Raines Elementary has not been able to improve its statewide ranking or rating, remaining among the lowest-performing schools in Mississippi. In comparison, nearby schools like Clausell Elementary and Johnson Elementary have higher proficiency rates and better school rankings than Raines.

The persistent academic struggles at Raines Elementary may be influenced by a combination of factors, such as the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, which has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate. While the nearby schools in the Jackson Public School District also serve predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations, they generally outperform Raines Elementary on academic measures. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Raines Elementary 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.
