Linwood Elementary School

Summary:

Linwood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Vaughan, Mississippi, with a student population of 170. The school is part of the Yazoo County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linwood Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is over 92% African American and 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 35% of 5th graders proficient in Math and Science, compared to the state averages of 53.7% and 71.2%, respectively. Linwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with a ranking of 302 out of 390 schools in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Bentonia Gibbs School and Mannsdale Upper Elementary have much higher test scores, school rankings, and more diverse student populations. Linwood Elementary's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 13.3 over the past few years, could be an asset if the school can effectively leverage this resource to improve instructional practices and student outcomes. However, addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and student support, will require a comprehensive approach to drive meaningful improvements.

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.
