Dundee Elementary School

Summary:

Dundee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Dundee, Mississippi, with a student population of 118 that is predominantly African American. Despite serving an economically disadvantaged community, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Dundee Elementary has shown strong academic performance, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

In the 2023-2024 school year, 76.4% of 3rd graders at Dundee Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.7% for the Tunica County School District and 57.7% statewide. Similarly, 82.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 43.1% for the district and 53.3% statewide. This indicates Dundee Elementary is outperforming its district and the state in these key subject areas. The school's very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.2 to 10.8 over the past 3 years, may contribute to its strong academic performance, as it is significantly lower than the nearby Robinsonville Elementary and Tunica Elementary schools, which have ratios between 12.5 and 14.7.

However, Dundee Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated considerably over the years, from as high as 108 out of 397 schools (4-star rating) in 2018-2019 to as low as 271 out of 377 schools (1-star rating) in 2022-2023. This volatility in ranking suggests the school's performance may be inconsistent or sensitive to changes in assessment or other factors. While Dundee Elementary outperforms its district and the state on 3rd grade test scores, the nearby schools in the Tunica County district have more mixed results, with Robinsonville Elementary performing better than Dundee in 4th and 5th grade ELA and Math, and Tunica Elementary lagging behind Dundee in most grade levels and subjects.

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.
