Summary

Senatobia Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Senatobia, Mississippi, with 855 students. It is part of the Senatobia Municipal School District, which is ranked 53 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Senatobia Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 140-216 out of 377-390 Mississippi elementary schools in recent years, it faces some key challenges. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 19.9% in 2022-2023 to 23.9% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Senatobia Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state and others underperforming. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.43% to 99.64% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Senatobia Elementary to nearby schools in the Desoto County School District, it becomes clear that Senatobia is underperforming in several areas. For example, Lewisburg Intermediate, which is 18.57 miles away, consistently outperforms Senatobia Elementary in test scores, with 4th and 5th grade ELA and Math proficiency rates over 70%. However, despite these challenges, there are signs of potential for improvement at Senatobia Elementary, as the school's test scores show that students are capable of performing at or above state averages in certain subjects and grade levels. With targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, Senatobia Elementary could potentially improve its overall performance and ranking within the state.
