Summary:
The 39159 zip code area is home to two schools, South Delta Elementary School and South Delta High School, both part of the South Delta School District. Unfortunately, these schools are underperforming, with low proficiency rates and serving a predominantly disadvantaged student population.
South Delta Elementary School and South Delta High School both have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages in most subject areas, indicating that students in this area are struggling academically. The racial makeup of the schools is overwhelmingly African American, with very few students of other races, suggesting a lack of diversity and potential challenges in addressing the unique needs of a predominantly minority student population. Additionally, 100% of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch, further highlighting the socioeconomic disadvantages faced by the community.
The South Delta School District's low ranking (122 out of 130) and 0-star rating from SchoolDigger reflect the overall underperformance of the schools in this area. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, these factors do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation or other factors impacting student achievement. Addressing the root causes of the underperformance in this region would require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and implement effective interventions.
