Cleveland School District


Summary:

The Cleveland School District in Mississippi operates 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 92 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Bell Elementary School ranks 99 out of 390 elementary schools in Mississippi and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Hayes Cooper Center for Math and Science also performs well, ranking 144 out of 390 elementary schools and boasting high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, other schools like D.M. Smith Elementary and Pearman Elementary struggle, with test scores well below state averages.

Across the district, there are significant disparities in academic performance, which may be related to the racial composition of the schools. Schools with more diverse student populations tend to have stronger test scores. Additionally, all schools in the district have 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage that likely contribute to the overall low performance of the district compared to state averages. Addressing these systemic challenges will be crucial for improving outcomes for students in the Cleveland School District.
