Louisville Elementary School

Summary:

Louisville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Louisville Municipal School District in Louisville, Mississippi, with a student population of 279 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several key challenges, including low test scores, high poverty rates, and a consistent pattern of underperformance compared to the district and state averages.

Louisville Elementary School has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9:1 to 12:1 over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the nearby Fair Elementary School (11.2:1) and the state average. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have consistently lagged behind the district and state averages over the past three school years, with proficiency rates ranging from 30.9% to 51.5% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 40.4% to 62.3% and the state's 51.7% to 57.7%. Additionally, the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which is higher than the nearby Fair Elementary School (also 100%) and the state average.

Interestingly, Louisville Elementary School and Fair Elementary School are located just 0.05 miles apart, yet their performance metrics differ significantly. Furthermore, the nearby Weir Elementary School and Ackerman Elementary, which are part of the Choctaw County School District, significantly outperform Louisville Elementary School on test scores, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. This suggests that the Louisville Municipal School District may be facing greater challenges in student achievement compared to other districts in the region.

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.
