Wilkinson County High

Summary:

Wilkinson County High is a public high school located in Woodville, Mississippi, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 262 students. The school is part of the Wilkinson County School District, which is ranked 130th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilkinson County High has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with significantly lower proficiency rates across all subject areas, including Algebra I (26.1% vs. 67.4%), English II (11.4% vs. 46.2%), Biology (37.1% vs. 60.6%), and U.S. History (47% vs. 70.8%). The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the past three school years. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 12.2 students per teacher, Wilkinson County High has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The persistent academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges faced by Wilkinson County High suggest that the school and the Wilkinson County School District may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to improve educational outcomes for its students. While the low student-teacher ratio presents an opportunity for more individualized attention, addressing the broader systemic issues will be crucial in helping the school better serve its student population and provide a brighter future for its graduates.

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.
