Summary:
The Louisville Municipal School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Eiland Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom half of Mississippi middle schools over the past three years.
Eiland Middle School's academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 20.8% to 29.7%, compared to the state averages of 37.3% to 46.7%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 34% to 46.7%, while the state averages were 47.5% to 55.5%. The school's performance in 8th grade science was also below the state average, with 38% proficient or better compared to 54.7% statewide.
Additionally, Eiland Middle School faces challenges with a high concentration of poverty, as 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may contribute to the overall academic struggles. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Eiland Middle School.
