Summary:
The Smith County School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Raleigh Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 99.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Raleigh Elementary School has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Mississippi elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Raleigh Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by MAAP test scores, is generally above the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade students scored 67.5% proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 57.7% and the district average of 55%. In the same year, the school's 3rd-grade students scored 77% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state and district averages of 53.3% and 53.2%, respectively.
While Raleigh Elementary School is performing well overall, there are some areas, such as 4th-grade ELA and 6th-grade Mathematics, where the school's performance is closer to or below the state and district averages. Identifying and addressing these areas of relative weakness could help the school further improve its academic outcomes and continue to support the learning and achievement of its diverse student population.
