Quitman County Middle School

Summary:

Quitman County Middle School is a public middle school located in Marks, Mississippi, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 272 students. The school is part of the Quitman County School District, which is ranked 72 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Quitman County Middle School faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming the state average in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with some grades performing at less than 50% proficiency. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (96.69%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Batesville Junior High School and Oakhurst Intermediate Academy. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can have a significant impact on academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Quitman County Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 12.9 students per teacher over the past few years. This suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students. With targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the unique needs of the student population, which is predominantly African American and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, Quitman County Middle School may be able to improve its academic outcomes and better serve the community of Marks, Mississippi.

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.
