Mt. Pleasant Middle Visual Perform. Arts

Summary:

Mt. Pleasant Middle Visual Perform. Arts is a public middle school in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, serving grades 5-8 with an enrollment of 421 students. The school is part of the Maury County school district, which is ranked 95 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mt. Pleasant Middle has a higher percentage of White students (69.12%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the Maury County and Tennessee state averages on standardized assessments across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.9% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 33.2% in Maury County and 39.7% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools for the past several years, maintaining a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lower-performing schools in the state. This is particularly concerning for the school's African American, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who perform in the bottom 40-50% of Tennessee middle schools.

While the nearby schools in the Maury County district also perform below the state average, such as Spring Hill Middle School and Battle Creek Middle School, Mt. Pleasant Middle Visual Perform. Arts is among the lowest-performing in the region. This suggests the school may need to implement more effective instructional practices, provide targeted interventions for struggling students, and focus on addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population to improve academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
