Summary:
The 39645 zip code area in Amite County, Mississippi is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Amite County School District. While the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, they also show some academic strengths, particularly in early grade math at Amite County Elementary School. However, proficiency rates decline in the upper elementary and middle school grades, and the Amite County High School struggles with low performance in 7th-8th grade ELA and 8th grade math.
Despite the academic disparities, the schools in the 39645 zip code area appear to have some advantages in terms of staffing and resources. Student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 8.2 at the middle school to 11.5 at the high school, and per-student spending is higher than the state average. However, the data does not indicate how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement.
Overall, the schools in the 39645 zip code area face significant challenges related to poverty and academic performance, but also show some pockets of strength, particularly in early grade math at the elementary school. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the disparities and help these high-poverty, predominantly minority student populations succeed.
