Summary:

Mooreville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Lee County School District in Mooreville, Mississippi, with a student population of 372 that is predominantly White (86.02% in 2022-2023). Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Mississippi, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

For example, in 2023-2024, 63.3% of 6th graders were proficient or better in MAAP Mathematics, compared to 49.2% for the district and 51.8% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.8 to 14.8 over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools like Shannon Middle School (10.2) and Guntown Middle School (13.7), suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

When compared to nearby schools in the Lee County School District, Mooreville Middle School consistently outperforms its peers on standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics, even for schools with similar demographic profiles, such as Guntown Middle School. This level of consistent academic excellence, combined with the school's ability to support a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, makes Mooreville Middle School an interesting case study for understanding the factors that contribute to successful middle school education.

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.
