Edna M Scott Elementary School

Q: Is Edna M Scott Elementary School a good school?

Edna M Scott Elementary School ranks 269 th of 390 Mississippi elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Edna M Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Leland, Mississippi, serving 257 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Leland School District, which is ranked 94 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Edna M Scott Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American student population (88-93%), consistently low academic performance, and a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.9%) and Mathematics (41.8%) are well below the state averages of 57.7% and 53.3%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the student-teacher ratio has improved in recent years, the school continues to underperform compared to nearby schools, such as Riverside Elementary School, which has higher proficiency rates across all grade levels.

The racial makeup and academic performance of Edna M Scott Elementary School suggest that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged and racially segregated community. Despite comparable spending per student to nearby schools, the combination of high poverty, low academic achievement, and poor school ranking and rating indicates that significant interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes at Edna M Scott 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.
