Eupora Elementary School

Summary:

Eupora Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Eupora, Mississippi, part of the Webster County School District. With 408 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6, Eupora Elementary stands out as a high-performing school serving a predominantly low-income student population.

Despite having over 99% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Eupora Elementary has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been steadily improving its test scores. In 2023-2024, the school ranked 46th out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools, up from 137th in 2020-2021. Eupora Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently higher than the state and district averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, outperforming nearby schools like East Webster Elementary.

Eupora Elementary's diverse student body, with a higher percentage of African American and multi-racial students compared to nearby schools, suggests the school is effectively meeting the needs of its community. The school's lower per-student spending ($8,039) compared to higher-performing schools like French Camp Elementary ($12,035) and West Elementary ($11,039) may indicate Eupora Elementary is using its resources efficiently, with its low student-teacher ratio potentially contributing to its strong academic performance.

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.
