Summary:
The 39203 zip code area of Jackson, Mississippi is home to 3 public schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Jackson Public School District. Unfortunately, the data shows these schools are consistently underperforming, with all three ranking in the bottom 6-10% of schools statewide on academic measures.
None of the schools in the 39203 area stand out as high-performing. Blackburn Middle School and Lanier High School have particularly low statewide rankings, placing in the bottom 3% of their respective school types. Galloway Elementary performs slightly better but is still in the bottom 6% of Mississippi elementary schools. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates than state and district averages on standardized tests.
The data also reveals concerning demographic and resource challenges facing these schools. The student populations are over 95% African American, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student funding is below the state average, and student-teacher ratios are around 12-14 to 1. These factors likely contribute to the schools' struggles and highlight the need for additional support and investment in the 39203 community.
