Sebastopol Attendance Center

Summary:

Sebastopol Attendance Center is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Scott County School District in Mississippi, with a student population of 660 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming their peers in the district and state on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Despite having an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage, Sebastopol Attendance Center maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 15.7 over the past three school years. This is lower than the nearby Scott Central Attendance Center, another alternative school in the same district. The school's unique characteristics, such as its effective teaching practices and support systems, may contribute to its students' academic success.

While Sebastopol Attendance Center outperforms the district and state on most academic measures, there are some areas, such as 6th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade English II, where the school's proficiency rates are lower. These areas may warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students are reaching their full potential. Overall, Sebastopol Attendance Center stands out as a high-performing alternative school within the Scott County School District, providing valuable insights for understanding the factors that contribute to its success and the challenges it faces in supporting its economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
