Senatobia Middle School

Summary:

Senatobia Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Senatobia, Mississippi, with a student population of 392. The school is part of the Senatobia Municipal School District, which is ranked 57 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Senatobia Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Lewisburg Middle and Hernando Middle School, its academic performance lags behind these neighboring schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as measured by the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program), are significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, over 99% of Senatobia Middle School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the racial makeup of Senatobia Middle School is more diverse than the nearby Lewisburg Middle and Hernando Middle schools, which have a much higher percentage of White students. This suggests that Senatobia Middle School may be serving a more economically disadvantaged and racially diverse student population, which could contribute to the lower academic performance. Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to its neighbors, the factors driving the performance gap appear to go beyond just resources, and further investigation into instructional practices, teacher quality, and support for economically disadvantaged students could provide valuable insights to help improve student outcomes.

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.
