Summary:
The 39325 zip code area is home to two exceptional public schools, West Lauderdale High School and West Lauderdale Middle School, which consistently rank among the top-performing schools in the state of Mississippi.
West Lauderdale High School is a standout institution, ranked 44th out of 228 Mississippi high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has been consistently ranked in the top 20 high schools in the state over the past three years, with a 5-star rating in 2022-2023 and 2021-2022. West Lauderdale Middle School is also a top performer, ranked 26th out of 264 Mississippi middle schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three consecutive years.
Both schools outperform the Lauderdale County School District and the state of Mississippi in end-of-course and MAAP test scores, demonstrating their ability to provide a high-quality education to their students, despite serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population with over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The schools' low student-teacher ratios, 15 students per teacher at the high school and 13.5 students per teacher at the middle school, may contribute to their academic success by allowing for more individualized attention and support.
