Summary:
The city of Meadville, Mississippi is home to 4 schools in the Franklin County School District, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with the elementary and middle schools generally outperforming the high school, but all schools facing challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and economic disadvantage among the student population.
The standout schools in the district appear to be Franklin Lower Elementary and Franklin Upper Elementary. Franklin Lower Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd-grade MAAP English Language Arts and Mathematics tests, while Franklin Upper Elementary excels in 5th-grade MAAP Science. Both elementary schools also benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.
In contrast, Franklin High School underperforms the state averages in most MAAP End-of-Course exams, and the middle schools also struggle, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below 50%. Additionally, all schools in the district have high chronic absenteeism rates and free and reduced lunch rates, indicating significant challenges related to student attendance and economic disadvantage that may be impacting academic performance across the district.
