Summary

Loyd Star School is an alternative public school serving grades K-12 in Brookhaven, Mississippi, with a student population of 740. The school is part of the Lincoln County School District.

Loyd Star School's academic performance is quite inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. While the school excels in certain areas, such as 5th grade Science and Algebra I, where its projected proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, it struggles significantly in others, like 7th and 8th grade Math. This suggests the need for a more targeted and comprehensive approach to improving student learning outcomes. Additionally, Loyd Star School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.38% to 99.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Lincoln County School District, which have rates ranging from 54.42% to 64.3%. This high poverty level likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, as research has shown that poverty can have a substantial impact on student achievement.

When compared to the other schools in the Lincoln County School District, as well as the nearby Wesson Attendance Center in the Copiah County School District, Loyd Star School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools in certain areas, it also lags behind in others. This suggests the need for Loyd Star to closely examine the practices and strategies of its higher-performing peers to identify opportunities for improvement.
