Summary:
Weir, Mississippi is home to a single school, Weir Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Choctaw County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Weir Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 28.46% White, 67.69% African American, 0.77% Hispanic, and 3.08% two or more races. The school's academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average and others lagging behind. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 41.2% (6th grade) to 71.4% (3rd grade), compared to the state average of 39.7% to 57.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 50% (3rd and 4th grades) to 76.4% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 53.3% to 55%. However, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rate in Science was 91.6%, significantly higher than the state average of 71.2%.
Despite the school's fluctuating ranking and rating, which have ranged from 124th to 206th out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools and from 2 to 3 stars, Weir Elementary School has the potential for improvement. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, as well as the Choctaw County School District's higher-than-average ranking and rating, suggest that with targeted interventions and support, the school could enhance its academic performance and better serve the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
