Summary:
The 39772 zip code is home to a single school, Weir Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's student population is predominantly African American (67.69%), with a significant White population (28.46%) and a small percentage of other races. While Weir Elementary's academic performance generally exceeds the state averages, it lags behind the Choctaw County School District in most subject areas and grade levels.
Weir Elementary School has a student enrollment of 130 and a student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, suggesting a strong focus on individualized attention and support. However, the school's performance has been variable, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 124th and 190th out of 390-382 elementary schools over the past three years, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5. This variability suggests that the school could benefit from a more consistent and targeted approach to improvement.
One notable finding is that 100% of Weir Elementary School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance and should be considered when developing targeted interventions and support programs. Overall, while Weir Elementary School's performance is generally higher than the state averages, there is room for improvement, particularly in aligning with the district's more successful strategies and addressing the unique needs of the economically disadvantaged student population.
