B F Liddell Middle School

Summary:

B F Liddell Middle School is a public middle school in Macon, Mississippi, serving 306 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Noxubee County School District and has a predominantly African American student population.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average, B F Liddell Middle School has consistently ranked among the lower-performing middle schools in Mississippi. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly below the state averages. However, the school's proficiency rate in Algebra I End of Course assessments is relatively stronger, exceeding the state average.

The school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. While the school's spending per student was $11,226 in the 2018-2019 school year, addressing the broader socioeconomic needs of the school community may be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the long run. The school's smaller class sizes could also present opportunities for more personalized and targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
