Summary:
The city of North Carrollton, Mississippi is home to two schools: Marshall Elementary School and J Z George High School. Both schools are part of the Carroll County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Neither Marshall Elementary School nor J Z George High School stand out as high-performing schools. Both institutions face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, test scores well below state averages, and 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Marshall Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% and the highest proficiency rate is just 41.6% in 5th grade science. J Z George High School has a slightly lower chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% and a graduation rate of 89.4%, which is slightly below the state average, but its test scores are generally below state averages as well.
The data suggests that the schools in North Carrollton are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students. Addressing the issues of student poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
