Summary:
The 35772 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. Based on the data provided, Stevenson Elementary School and Stevenson Middle School stand out as strong performers, while North Jackson High School lags behind in academic achievement.
Stevenson Elementary and Stevenson Middle have consistently outperformed the Jackson County and state averages in core subjects like math and English language arts. Stevenson Elementary also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to the other schools. In contrast, North Jackson High School lags behind in 11th-grade assessments, though it maintains a respectable 90% four-year graduation rate.
Across all three schools, a significant percentage of students (66-70%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. This factor may contribute to the performance gap observed between the elementary/middle schools and the high school. Addressing chronic absenteeism and targeting interventions to support economically disadvantaged students could be important focus areas for the district.
