Summary:
The city of Woodville, Mississippi, is home to two schools: Wilkinson County Elementary and Wilkinson County High, both of which serve students from the Wilkinson County School District. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
Both Wilkinson County Elementary and Wilkinson County High have extremely low rankings, with the elementary school ranked 367th out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools and the high school ranked 229th out of 232 Mississippi high schools. The schools' proficiency rates on MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests are significantly below state averages, with Wilkinson County Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates at just 20% in English Language Arts and 10% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 49.4% and 53.3%, respectively. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 23.9% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year.
The data also reveals that 100% of students at both Wilkinson County Elementary and Wilkinson County High are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area. This socioeconomic challenge may be contributing to the schools' struggles, and targeted interventions and support will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for the students in Woodville.
