Best Public Schools in Zip Code 38668


Summary:

The 38668 zip code area is home to three schools that are part of the Senatobia Municipal School District, which serves students from elementary through high school. While the district as a whole faces challenges, Senatobia Elementary School stands out as a consistent high performer, often exceeding state and district averages in standardized test scores. In contrast, Senatobia Middle School struggles to match the elementary school's academic achievements, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

All three schools in the 38668 zip code area, including Senatobia High School, serve a high-need student population, with an exceptionally high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 99.23% to 99.64%. This indicates that the schools face significant challenges in addressing the unique needs of their students, who come from low-income backgrounds. While Senatobia High School has the highest spending per student, this does not necessarily translate to higher academic performance compared to the elementary school, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play in driving student outcomes.

The racial composition of the schools reflects the broader demographic makeup of the Senatobia community, with a significant African American student population ranging from 50.18% at the elementary school to 57.65% at the middle school. This diversity highlights the importance of ensuring that the schools' curricula, teaching practices, and support systems are tailored to meet the needs of all students, regardless of their racial or socioeconomic background.
