Burnsville Elementary

Summary:

Burnsville Elementary is a public K-8 school in Burnsville, Mississippi, serving a student population of 421, with a predominantly White racial makeup. However, the school has faced significant challenges, as revealed by a closer examination of its key metrics.

Academically, Burnsville Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Tishomingo County Sp Mun School District and the state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 25% to 57.4%, while the district and state averages were higher. A similar pattern is observed in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 22% to 51.1%, again below the district and state averages. Additionally, Burnsville Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 93rd out of 404 Mississippi elementary schools in 2017-2018 to being ranked 266th out of 390 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.

Another notable factor is the exceptionally high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Burnsville Elementary, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support to address their unique needs. Furthermore, Burnsville Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 12.9 in recent years, which is higher than nearby schools like Hills Chapel School (10.6) and Tishomingo Elementary (9.1), potentially indicating staffing challenges that could impact the quality of instruction.

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.
