Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39769

Summary:

The 39769 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, West Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 183 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a nearly even split between White and African American students, and a small percentage of Hispanic students. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 98.36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

West Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics are on par with or slightly better than the district and state, its English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates are lower. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 159th out of 382 Mississippi elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 242nd out of 390 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 during the same period.

Despite the school's declining academic performance and rankings, it appears to have access to adequate resources and funding. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,039, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2022-2023 school year was 11.8, which is relatively low compared to national averages. However, the school's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the level of resources available, suggesting that there may be other factors influencing student outcomes at West Elementary School.
