Nettleton Elementary School

Summary:

Nettleton Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 4-8 in the Nettleton School District in Nettleton, Mississippi, with a student population of 452 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly White (67.7%) with a significant African American population (28.32%) and smaller percentages of Hispanic (2.21%) and students of two or more races (1.77%).

Nettleton Intermediate School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the state and district averages. While the school's 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 56.6% was higher than the state average of 53.4%, its 5th-8th grade ELA proficiency rates were lower than the state. In mathematics, the school's 4th and 6th grade proficiency rates were higher than the state, but its 5th, 7th, and 8th grade rates were lower. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 98th out of 257 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 155th out of 243 middle schools in 2022-2023, with its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which may indicate more individualized attention for students.

When comparing Nettleton Intermediate School to nearby middle schools, some interesting patterns emerge. Belle Shivers Middle School in the Aberdeen School District has a student population that is 95.74% African American and significantly lower test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to Nettleton Intermediate. In contrast, Mooreville Middle School in the Lee County School District has a student population that is 86.02% White and consistently outperforms Nettleton Intermediate on state assessments, ranking among the top 50 middle schools in the state. This suggests potential racial achievement gaps that may need to be addressed at Nettleton Intermediate School.

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.
