Best Public Schools in Dundee, MS

Summary:

The city of Dundee, Mississippi has just one public school, Dundee Elementary School, which serves students in grades PK-5. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, where proficiency rates exceed the district and state averages. However, the school's student population is predominantly African American (94.07%) and 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.

Despite the economic challenges faced by Dundee Elementary School's students, the school appears to have adequate resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1 and per-student spending of $13,998. This may be contributing to the school's positive academic outcomes in some grade levels. However, the school's performance is more mixed in 4th and 5th grades, suggesting that the school may need to focus on improving academic outcomes for older students.

The Tunica County School District, which Dundee Elementary School is a part of, is ranked 69 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
