Stringer Attendance Center

Summary:

Stringer Attendance Center is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Stringer, Mississippi, with a student population of 584. The school is part of the West Jasper Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 48 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating. Notably, over 99% of Stringer Attendance Center's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty community.

Stringer Attendance Center consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I, English II, and Biology. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 12.7 over the past three years, may contribute to its academic success. Additionally, Stringer Attendance Center spends $8,880 per student, which is higher than the state average, providing the school with additional resources to support student learning.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mize Attendance Center and Taylorsville Attendance Center, both part of the Smith County School District, Stringer Attendance Center consistently outperforms these schools on standardized test scores, particularly in core subjects. This suggests that Stringer Attendance Center may have more effective teaching practices or a more rigorous curriculum, despite serving a predominantly high-poverty student population.

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.
