New Hebron Attendance Center

Summary:

New Hebron Attendance Center is a K-8 elementary school in the Lawrence County School District in Mississippi, serving 254 students with a racial makeup of 38.98% White and 57.48% African American.

New Hebron Attendance Center faces significant challenges, including an extremely high poverty rate, with 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school consistently lags behind the district and state in test scores, with only 18% of 6th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 27.7% for the district and 39.7% for the state. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 12.8 over the past three years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Monticello Elementary School and schools in the Simpson County School District, New Hebron Attendance Center performs significantly worse on test scores, despite serving similar high-poverty student populations.

While New Hebron Attendance Center's performance in 5th grade science is a bright spot, with proficiency rates higher than the district and state averages, the school's overall statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 229 out of 402 Mississippi elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 309 out of 381 in 2020-2021. This suggests that the school's performance is not improving relative to other schools in the state, and there may be opportunities for improvement in instructional practices and resource allocation.

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.
