Earl Nash Elementary School

Summary:

Earl Nash Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Macon, Mississippi, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 675 students. The school is part of the Noxubee County School District and has a predominantly African American student population, with 95.11% of students identifying as such.

Despite its location, Earl Nash Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were significantly lower than the state averages, with only 27.4%, 48.1%, and 15.9% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students, respectively, scoring proficient or better in ELA, and 23.2%, 14.3%, and 12.8% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students, respectively, scoring proficient or better in Mathematics. This has resulted in the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with a ranking of 370 out of 390 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby Kemper County Lower Elementary School, which is part of a different school district, has significantly higher academic performance than Earl Nash Elementary School. In the 2023-2024 school year, Kemper County Lower Elementary had 50% and 43.2% of 3rd-grade students scoring proficient or better in ELA and Mathematics, respectively, compared to Earl Nash Elementary's 27.4% and 23.2%. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as district-level policies and resources, may be contributing to the academic disparities between the two schools.

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.
