Summary:
The city of Moorhead, Mississippi, has two elementary schools serving the community: Moorhead Central School and Rosser Early Learning Center. Both schools are part of the Sunflower City Consolidated School District, which is ranked 98 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, neither Moorhead Central School nor Rosser Early Learning Center appears to be a standout performer. Moorhead Central School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.1% of 8th-grade students at Moorhead Central School were proficient or better in MAAP English Language Arts, compared to 41.7% statewide. Rosser Early Learning Center does not have any historical performance data available, suggesting it may be a newer or smaller school.
Both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Moorhead Central School has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, which could indicate a higher level of individual attention for students, while Rosser Early Learning Center has a higher student-to-teacher ratio of 14.7 to 1. Additionally, Moorhead Central School had a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement.
