Summary:
Sallis, Mississippi is home to a single elementary school, Long Creek Attendance Center, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 211 students. The school is part of the Attala County School District, which is ranked 37 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Long Creek Attendance Center has seen fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 170 out of 390 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 232 out of 383 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests has been mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. Additionally, the school faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% and serves a population where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, Long Creek Attendance Center has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the school's inconsistent academic performance and high poverty levels suggest a need for more targeted instructional strategies and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall outcomes.
