Best Public Schools in Zip Code 38626

Summary:

The 38626 zip code in Mississippi is home to a single public elementary school, Dundee Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5. With a student population that is 94.07% African American, Dundee Elementary stands out for its high percentage of minority students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with strong 3rd-grade test scores but lower performance in 4th and 5th grades.

Dundee Elementary School's 3rd-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, indicating the school is doing well in supporting early academic achievement. However, the school's overall funding and resources, with a per-student spending of $13,998 and a student-teacher ratio of 8.2, suggest that the school may face economic challenges, as 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be a factor in the school's variable academic performance across grade levels.

While Dundee Elementary School is the only school in the 38626 zip code, the data provides valuable insights into the school's strengths and areas for improvement. By addressing the specific needs of the school's predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population, the Tunica County School District may be able to implement targeted interventions and support strategies to ensure more consistent academic success for all students at Dundee Elementary School.
