Glade Elementary School

Summary:

Glade Elementary School is a public elementary school in Laurel, Mississippi, serving 430 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Jones County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Glade Elementary consistently outperforms the Jones County School District and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores, with 71.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 59.3% for the district and 57.7% for the state. However, the school has a higher percentage of white students (72.09%) compared to nearby schools like West Jones Elementary (54.79% white) and North Jones Elementary (39% white), indicating a notable racial imbalance. Additionally, Glade Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools.

Despite these challenges, Glade Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 13.3 over the past three school years, which may contribute to the school's academic success. While Glade Elementary has consistently performed well, its statewide ranking has declined from a high of 32nd out of 397 schools in 2018-2019 to 113th out of 390 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be facing increasing challenges or that other schools are improving at a faster rate. When compared to nearby schools, Glade Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, but the Laurel Magnet School Of The Arts also demonstrates exceptional performance, ranking 3rd out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools in 2023-2024.

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.
