O'Bannon Elementary School

Summary:

O'Bannon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 476 students in grades PK-6 in Greenville, Mississippi, which is part of the Western Line School District. Despite the district's 1-star rating, O'Bannon Elementary generally outperforms its peers, with higher test scores and a lower student-teacher ratio.

O'Bannon Elementary's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are stronger than the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, 54% of 3rd graders at O'Bannon were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.8% for the district and 57.7% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 13.2 over the past three years, which is lower than many nearby schools like Weddington Elementary and Stern Elementary. However, 100% of O'Bannon's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the challenges, O'Bannon Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, suggesting a relatively stable educational experience. The school also spends more per student ($9,341 in 2018-2019) than nearby schools like Riverside Elementary ($8,555) and some Greenville Public Schools (ranging from $6,950 to $9,047). This additional funding may contribute to the school's stronger academic performance compared to its neighbors in the Western Line School District.

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.
