Enterprise High School

Summary:

Enterprise High School is a public high school serving 296 students in grades 9-12 in Enterprise, Mississippi, which is part of the Lauderdale County School District. The school consistently performs exceptionally well on state assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average, such as 90.7% in Algebra I, 64.3% in English II, 82.1% in Biology, and 81.2% in U.S. History.

Enterprise High School has a predominantly white student population, with 88.51% of students identifying as white, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Southeast Lauderdale High School (57.07% white) and Meridian High School (3.46% white).

This, combined with the school's consistent high performance, suggests a focus on academic excellence and the potential for collaboration with other schools in the region to share best practices and resources.

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.
