Summary:

The 39040 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Bentonia Gibbs School, which serves grades PK-5 with 403 students. The school is part of the Yazoo County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bentonia Gibbs School has consistently low rankings and ratings, with a 2-star rating for the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, and a 1-star rating for 2021-2022. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 44.2% compared to the district's 49.2% and the state's 57.7%. Additionally, 100% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, the data suggests that Bentonia Gibbs School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students. The school's low rankings, test scores, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, combined with the district's overall low performance, indicate that further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve educational outcomes in this area.
