Summary:

Jdc Middle School is a public middle school in Prentiss, Mississippi, serving 272 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 84.56% African American, a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, and lower academic performance compared to the state and a nearby school, Rod Paige Middle School.

Jdc Middle School's proficiency rates on state tests are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby Rod Paige Middle School, which is part of the Lawrence County School District. For example, in 2023-2024, Jdc Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts were 33.7% for 6th grade, 30.1% for 7th grade, and 43.3% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 39.7%, 40.8%, and 42%, respectively.

Despite the challenges, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement at Jdc Middle School. The school's 8th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 43.3% is higher than the 6th and 7th-grade rates, indicating that there may be room for growth in the lower grades. Additionally, the high free and reduced lunch rate at Jdc Middle School suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. With targeted interventions and support, the school may be able to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of its community.

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.
