Lee County School District

The Lee County School District in Mississippi encompasses 13 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the district, Mooreville Elementary School and Mooreville Middle School consistently rank among the top-performing schools in the state, with high proficiency rates in core subjects. In contrast, Verona Elementary School and Plantersville Middle School are the lowest-performing schools in the district, with 0 and 1 star ratings, respectively.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, with a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement. Schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address the impact of poverty on educational outcomes. Additionally, the racial composition of the schools varies greatly, with some being predominantly White and others predominantly African American, raising concerns about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the Lee County School District.
