Best Public Schools in Burnsville, MS

Summary:

The city of Burnsville, Mississippi has just one school, Burnsville Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school faces significant challenges, as it serves a student population that is overwhelmingly economically disadvantaged, with 99.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Burnsville Elementary has seen a concerning decline in performance over the past three years, with most grade levels scoring below the district and state averages on the Mississippi Academic Assessment Program (MAAP) tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's overall statewide ranking has dropped from 224th out of 382 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 266th out of 390 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1, which suggests a focus on small class sizes, the academic outcomes have not improved.

While Burnsville Elementary faces significant challenges due to the high level of economic disadvantage among its students, the data indicates there is room for improvement in academic performance. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to help the school's students achieve at higher levels and reverse the concerning trend of declining test scores and rankings. As part of the Tishomingo County Sp Mun School District, Burnsville Elementary will need to work closely with district leaders to develop and implement effective strategies to support student learning and success.
