Profile interpretation
What the reported data says about Lake Elem
Lake Elem is a public elementary school serving grades KG–04 in Pascagoula. It is one of 19 current school records connected to Pascagoula-Gautier School District. NCES reports 96 students for 2024–25.
Among 423 elementary schools in Mississippi with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 404 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 1th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 10.9:1, below the Mississippi median of 14.8:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (55.2%) and Black (30.2%). English learners represent 16.1% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 10.3%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
