Summary:
The city of Beaumont, Mississippi has only one school in the data set - South Perry Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades K-5 with an enrollment of 222 students. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 98.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
South Perry Elementary School's academic performance is inconsistent, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below the state and district averages, but a strong performance in 5th-grade Science proficiency. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, but it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5. The high poverty levels and inconsistent academic performance suggest that the school may benefit from a more targeted approach to improving student outcomes, particularly in core subjects.
Despite the challenges faced by South Perry Elementary School, the Perry County School District is committed to supporting its students and improving educational outcomes. By addressing the specific needs of the school's high-poverty population and implementing evidence-based strategies to boost academic achievement, the district can work towards ensuring that all students in Beaumont have access to a quality education.
