Summary:
The George Gervin Academy district contains only one high school, Ruth Jones McClendon Middle, which serves grades 7-12. This school is struggling academically, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments and a declining statewide ranking.
Ruth Jones McClendon Middle has an enrollment of just 49 students, all of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance is concerning, with 0% proficiency in Algebra I, 7.69% in Biology, and less than 3% in English II Reading. These proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages, indicating that the school is failing to adequately prepare its students for academic success.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $8,765, which is above the national average, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.1 to 1, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding or adjusting staffing levels may not be enough to address the underlying issues at the school. Comprehensive, data-driven interventions will likely be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for the students served by Ruth Jones McClendon Middle.
