Summary:
The Nettleton School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Nettleton Intermediate School, which serves grades 4-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is generally below the state averages, particularly in 5th-8th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Science. However, the school's 4th grade ELA and 6th grade Math scores exceed the state averages.
Nettleton Intermediate School faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with 99.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school district's spending per student is relatively low at $6,840, which may contribute to the academic performance concerns. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, suggesting inconsistent or variable performance.
Despite these challenges, Nettleton Intermediate School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which could be an asset in providing more personalized attention to students. The school's leadership and educators may benefit from a closer examination of the factors contributing to the academic performance gaps and targeted interventions to address them, particularly in the weaker subject areas and grade levels.
