Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39455


Summary:

The 39455 zip code area in Mississippi is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the schools face significant economic challenges, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools in the area.

Baxterville School stands out as the top-performing school, consistently outperforming the Lamar County School District and state averages in ELA and Math across all grade levels. In contrast, Lumberton Elementary struggles with lower proficiency rates, particularly in 6th grade ELA and 5th grade Math, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support. Lumberton High School performs well in end-of-course exams, with high proficiency rates in Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History, and has a higher statewide ranking compared to the other schools in the area.

The data also reveals a stark contrast in the racial makeup of the schools, with Baxterville School having a predominantly white student population (96.03%) compared to the more diverse Lumberton Elementary and Lumberton High School. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between Lumberton High School ($17,842) and Lumberton Elementary ($6,841) suggests that resource allocation may not be equitable across the district, which could have implications for the quality of education and support available to students in the area.
