Summary:
The 44439 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Mesopotamia Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a student population of 112. While the school has some academic strengths, it faces significant challenges, including declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with significant economic needs.
Mesopotamia Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed, with strong results in 5th grade Science but struggles in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics. The school's English Language Arts performance has also been below state averages across multiple grade levels. This declining performance is reflected in the school's rating, which has dropped from 4 out of 5 stars to 2 out of 5 stars over the past few years. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.8% is likely contributing to these academic challenges.
Mesopotamia Elementary School serves a student population that is predominantly White (91.96%), with small percentages of African American (0.89%) and students of two or more races (7.14%). However, the school has a high percentage of students (70.54%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the community. This socioeconomic factor may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students and help improve academic outcomes.
