South Delta Middle School

Summary:

South Delta Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Anguilla, MS, with a total enrollment of 158 students. The school's student population is predominantly African American, with 100% of students identifying as such.

Despite its location, South Delta Middle School consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 2.3% of 6th graders, 20% of 7th graders, and 16.2% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39.7%, 40.8%, and 42%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics and science is also significantly below the state averages. As a result, South Delta Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Hollandale School District middle schools, with a rating of 0-2 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby Simmons Junior High School has a similar student population in terms of racial demographics and socioeconomic status, but outperforms South Delta Middle School on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the persistent academic struggles at South Delta Middle School may be due to factors beyond just the student population, and that targeted interventions and support could potentially improve student outcomes.

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.
