Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39560


Summary:

The 39560 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Long Beach School District. The standout school in this set is Long Beach Senior High School, which has consistently ranked among the top high schools in Mississippi and maintains a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Long Beach Senior High School's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects, with 89.6% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 67.4%. The schools in this area have a relatively diverse student population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant economic challenges in the community. However, the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 12.4 to 15.5 students per teacher, which is generally considered a positive indicator for educational quality.

While the overall academic performance is strong, with Harper Mc Caughan Elementary School and Long Beach Middle School also ranked among the top schools in the state, there may be some opportunity gaps to explore, particularly in subjects like English Language Arts. The high rates of economic need in the community suggest that there may be equity and resource allocation challenges that warrant further investigation.
