Summary:

The city of Lyon, Mississippi has only one public school, Lyon Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Coahoma County School District, which is ranked 108 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lyon Elementary School has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science lagging behind both the district and state averages. The school's ranking has declined over the past few years, and it is currently ranked 258 out of 383 elementary schools in Mississippi, with a 2 out of 5 star rating. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

The data suggests that the challenges faced by Lyon Elementary School are reflective of broader systemic issues within the Coahoma County School District. With 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a predominantly low-income population, which can present additional challenges in terms of resources and support. Addressing the school's low academic performance, high absenteeism, and resource needs will require a collaborative effort involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
