Similarly, Northwest Rankin Middle School has consistently ranked among the top 26-35 middle schools in Mississippi, with exceptional performance in MAAP/Algebra I and high proficiency rates in other core subjects.
While the schools in Flowood demonstrate strong academic performance, the data also reveals a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% across all four schools. Additionally, the free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 32.52% to 46.93%, suggest a diverse socioeconomic population within the schools. Despite these challenges, the schools maintain relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 12.7 to 16.3, which may contribute to their academic success.
