Summary:
The Canton Public School District in Mississippi is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district faces challenges with high poverty levels, the data reveals a notable disparity in academic performance among the schools.
The standout school in the district is the Reuben B. Myers Canton School Of Ar, which ranks 212 out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. In contrast, Mc Neal Elementary School lags behind, with proficiency rates below the district and state in most subjects and grade levels.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between funding and performance, with Reuben B. Myers Canton School Of Ar having the highest spending per student and the strongest academic outcomes. Additionally, the high poverty levels across all 4 schools, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, highlight the significant challenges faced by these high-poverty institutions. Targeted interventions and support may be crucial in addressing the disparities and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Canton Public School District.
