Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39170

Summary:

The 39170 zip code area is home to two schools - Terry High School and Byram Middle School, both part of the Hinds County School District. These schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the nearly universal free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.

While the student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively low, the academic performance of students, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages. The schools' overall rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger also indicate room for improvement in the quality of education provided. An exception is Byram Middle School's Algebra I proficiency rate, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The data suggests that the schools in the 39170 zip code area face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students, who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the low test scores and improve the overall academic performance of these schools within the Hinds County School District.
