Mary Reid School (K-4)

Summary:

Mary Reid School (K-4) is a small elementary school in Potts Camp, Mississippi, serving 234 students in grades kindergarten through 4th. Despite being part of the lower-ranked Marshall County School District, Mary Reid School (K-4) consistently outperforms the district and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores, particularly in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The school's exceptional performance is even more impressive given its high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, Mary Reid School (K-4) is able to achieve this academic success with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 students per teacher, lower than nearby schools like New Albany Elementary School and Galena Elementary School (K-7).

When compared to nearby schools, Mary Reid School (K-4) stands out as a high-performing institution, particularly in its 3rd-grade test scores. This is notable given the school's economic challenges, as high rates of free and reduced lunch are often associated with lower academic performance. The school's diversity, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than nearby schools, may also contribute to its success in providing a well-rounded educational experience for 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.
