Summary:
The 38732 zip code area in Cleveland, Mississippi is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Cleveland School District. While the schools face significant challenges, with performance well below state averages, a few standout institutions like Parks Elementary School demonstrate the potential for excellence in the district.
Parks Elementary stands out with the highest student proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the best 5th grade science scores in the area. In contrast, Cleveland Central High School, the only high school in the data set, has lower overall performance compared to state averages. However, it serves the largest student population of 817 students.
Across the schools, there are concerning trends, including stark performance gaps, a lack of improvement over time, and high concentrations of poverty and minority students. These factors raise questions about equity and access to quality education in the 38732 community. The wide range in per-student spending, from $6,481 at D.M. Smith Elementary to $10,333 at Parks Elementary, suggests potential differences in resource allocation that may contribute to the performance disparities observed.
