Parkview Elementary School

Summary:

Parkview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Meridian, Mississippi, serving 408 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Meridian Public Schools district, which is ranked 117 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Meridian district and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.3% of 3rd-grade students at Parkview were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36.4% for the Meridian district and 57.7% for the state. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. Parkview Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 15.7 students per teacher in recent years.

The nearby schools, such as West Hills Elementary, Crestwood Elementary, and Poplar Springs Elementary, generally outperform Parkview Elementary in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Parkview Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (over 94%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. Despite the higher per-student spending at Parkview Elementary, this does not seem to translate into improved academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
