Summary:
The city of Mound Bayou, Mississippi is home to a single school, I.T. Montgomery Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 225 students. The school is part of the North Bolivar Consolidated School District, which is ranked 106 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.
I.T. Montgomery Elementary School has a very high percentage of African American students (99.56%), with only a small percentage of students from other racial backgrounds. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAAP test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This is concerning, as the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The school's spending per student ($9,424) is below the national average, which may limit the resources and support available to students and teachers. This combination of racial homogeneity, academic underperformance, and economic disadvantage raises questions about educational equity and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this school and its community.
