Summary:

The city of Raymond, Mississippi has only one elementary school, Raymond Elementary/Carver Middle School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance and demographics provide a mixed picture, with areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.

Academically, Raymond Elementary/Carver Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, moving from 215th out of 390 schools in 2023-2024 to 167th out of 383 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance on MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests varies across grade levels and subjects, with some areas, such as 5th grade Mathematics and Science, exceeding state averages, while others, like 7th grade English Language Arts, lag behind. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 could be a strength, but the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 62.39% suggests the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges.

Compared to the Hinds County School District as a whole, Raymond Elementary/Carver Middle School is generally performing better, which could indicate the school is utilizing effective strategies or resources that could be shared with other schools in the district. However, the school's inconsistent academic performance and mixed rankings suggest there are areas for improvement, such as curriculum alignment, teacher professional development, and targeted interventions for struggling students.
