Holly Springs Intermediate School

Summary:

Holly Springs Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Holly Springs School District in Holly Springs, Mississippi, with a student population of 228 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly African American student body (92.54%) and a high percentage of students (100%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the community.

Academically, Holly Springs Intermediate School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the Mississippi Academic Assessment Program (MAAP) tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages, with 33.3% proficient in 4th grade ELA (vs. 57.1% state), 32.7% proficient in 5th grade Math (vs. 53.7% state), and 34.5% proficient in 5th grade Science (vs. 71.2% state). The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,307, which is higher than the state average but lower than the spending at the nearby Holly Springs Junior High School ($9,861 per student).

Comparing Holly Springs Intermediate School to nearby institutions, the data suggests that the Holly Springs School District as a whole is struggling to provide quality education to its students. While Holly Springs Intermediate School and Holly Springs Junior High School have similar student demographics and academic performance, Byhalia Middle School, which is in the Marshall County School District, has a more diverse student population and slightly better academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and Science. This highlights the need for further investigation into the resources, policies, and strategies of the Holly Springs School District to identify areas for improvement and better support the educational needs of its students.

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.
