Summary:
The city of Rolling Fork, Mississippi is home to two schools, South Delta Elementary School and South Delta High School, both part of the South Delta School District. The district is ranked 124 out of 130 in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the district.
Neither South Delta Elementary School nor South Delta High School appear to be standout performers. Both schools have consistently underperformed compared to state averages on academic assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics ranging from 15.6% to 31.8% at the elementary school and slightly better but still below average results at the high school. Additionally, both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.9%, and the high school's graduation rate of 89.4% is slightly below the state average.
The schools in Rolling Fork face significant socioeconomic challenges, with both schools having a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, at 10.7 for the elementary school and 12.8 for the high school, the combination of low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic disadvantage suggests that these schools may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of their students and improve educational outcomes.
