Summary:
Louisville Municipal School District's only middle school is Eiland Middle School, located in Louisville, Mississippi, serving grades 6 through 8 with 308 students. Eiland Middle School ranks in the bottom quarter of Mississippi middle schools (25th percentile statewide, 1-star rating), while the Louisville Municipal School District overall ranks near the middle of the state's districts (49th percentile, 3-star rating).
For parents considering Eiland Middle School, the strongest takeaway is that mathematics is a relative bright spot. The school improved in every math grade level from the previous year, and 7th grade math proficiency (52.9%) actually surpasses the district average (51.0%). However, English Language Arts is a serious concern — especially in 7th grade, where only 14.8% of students are proficient, less than half the state rate of 36.7%. Science also trails dramatically, with 8th grade proficiency at 38.5% compared to 57.8% statewide. These subject gaps indicate the school faces broad academic challenges across multiple content areas.
Demographic factors are important context for understanding Eiland Middle School's performance. About 78.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and 25.1% of students are chronically absent — above both district and state averages. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 17.4, the school serves a high-poverty population with significant attendance challenges. Since this is the only middle school in the district, comparisons are limited to district-wide averages and state benchmarks, but the clear picture is that Eiland Middle School is performing below its district and the state in most subjects, making it a potential priority school for improvement.
