Bogue Chitto School

Summary:

Bogue Chitto School is an alternative public school serving 715 students in grades K-12 in the Lincoln County School District. The school has a predominantly White (78.46%) and African American (18.04%) student population, with a high percentage (99.58%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Bogue Chitto School consistently outperforms the Lincoln County School District and the state of Mississippi in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. The school stands out with exceptionally high proficiency rates in MAAP/Algebra I (84.3%) and MAAP/U.S. History1 (88.2%), significantly outpacing the district and state averages. Additionally, Bogue Chitto School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which is lower than the nearby Loyd Star School (13.1) and West Lincoln School (13.2).

While Bogue Chitto School generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Lincoln County School District, it is worth noting that Wesson Attendance Center, which is in the Copiah County School District, also demonstrates strong academic performance in several subject areas, particularly in MAAP/Algebra I, MAAP/Science, and MAAP/U.S. History1. Bogue Chitto School's lower proficiency rates in MAAP/English Language Arts for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, as well as in MAAP/Science for 8th grade, suggest areas where the school could focus on improving student outcomes.

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.
