Vicksburg High School

Summary:

Vicksburg High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, with a student population of 871. The school is part of the Vicksburg Warren School District, which is ranked 71 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student body is predominantly African American (83.81% in the 2022-2023 school year).

Vicksburg High School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state and district in Algebra I, English II, and Biology. This trend has persisted over the past several years, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Vicksburg High School has an extremely high percentage of students (99.89% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Warren Central High School, which is also part of the Vicksburg Warren School District, outperforms Vicksburg High School on academic measures. This suggests that there may be factors within the district or school-level practices that contribute to the performance gap between the two schools. Additionally, Vicksburg High School's academic performance has declined over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping significantly in some subjects, further highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges facing the school and its 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.
