Best Public Schools in Zip Code 38671


Summary:

The 38671 zip code area of Southaven, Mississippi is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Desoto County School District. While the schools have some standout characteristics, the data reveals consistent academic challenges across the district, with students generally underperforming compared to state and district averages.

Among the standout schools, Greenbrook Elementary School has the highest statewide ranking and spending per student, while Hope Sullivan Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio, potentially allowing for more individualized attention. However, the test score data shows that all the schools in this zip code area are consistently underperforming, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.4% to 45.2% in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to district averages of 45.5% to 67.9%.

The schools in this area also face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 99.4% to 99.84%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This, combined with the stark differences in test scores and school rankings between the elementary, middle, and high school levels, raises concerns about equity and the district's ability to provide consistent, high-quality education across all grade levels. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure that all students in the district have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
