Summary:
The city of Liberty, Mississippi is home to three schools in the Amite County School District: Amite County Elementary, Amite County High School, and Amite County Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and face challenges common to high-poverty districts, including low statewide rankings and below-average test scores in core subjects.
Amite County Elementary stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in MAAP/Science for 5th grade and strong performance in MAAP/Mathematics for 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades. In contrast, Amite County High School struggles with proficiency in MAAP/Algebra I and MAAP/English II, though it maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.4%. All three schools have chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 24.9%, which could be a key factor impacting academic performance.
The data suggests that the Amite County School District faces significant equity concerns, with all three schools serving a 100% free or reduced-price lunch eligible student population. While Amite County Elementary shows some academic strengths, the district as a whole has room for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism and raising proficiency levels in core subjects to better support the success of its students.
