Summary:
The city of Beaumont, Mississippi has only one school serving grades K-5: South Perry Elementary School, which is part of the Perry County School District. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments falling below the district and state averages across most grade levels and subject areas.
South Perry Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 33.3% to 36.4%, compared to the state average of 49.4% to 55.9%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 14.3% to 42.4%, compared to the state average of 48.3% to 56.6%. While the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rates are closer to the district and state averages at 60% in 2024-2025, the overall academic performance at South Perry Elementary is a concern.
The school serves a high-needs population, with 85.71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1. However, the school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that South Perry Elementary School requires targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for its students.
