Summary:
The 31042 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Wilkinson County Primary School and Wilkinson County Elementary School, both of which are part of the Wilkinson County school district. While the schools serve a similar student population, the data reveals that they are facing significant challenges, with both schools performing below the state average on academic measures.
Wilkinson County Primary School has an enrollment of 271 students, with 94.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school spends $12,523 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1. Wilkinson County Elementary School, on the other hand, has an enrollment of 209 students, with 88.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school spends $9,727 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1.
The academic performance of both schools is a significant concern, with Wilkinson County Elementary School's performance on the Milestones Assessment falling well below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.1% of 5th-grade students at Wilkinson County Elementary School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43%. These findings suggest that the schools in the 31042 zip code area face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach involving increased funding, targeted interventions, and collaborative efforts between the schools and the community.
