Summary:
The city of Magee, Mississippi is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Magee Elementary School, Magee High School, and Magee Middle School. These schools are part of the Simpson County School District and face significant academic challenges based on the available data.
None of the three Magee schools stand out as high-performing, with all three receiving the lowest possible 1-out-of-5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools have low statewide rankings, with Magee Elementary ranked 319 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools, Magee High ranked 207 out of 232 high schools, and Magee Middle ranked 203 out of 266 middle schools. Proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, and all three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 24.9%.
The data also reveals that the Magee schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 90.84% to 94.12%. This suggests that the community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the academic struggles of the schools. Overall, the analysis indicates a need for comprehensive and targeted efforts to address the systemic issues and improve educational outcomes for students in the Magee area.
