Summary:
The West Point Consolidated School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Fifth Street School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its ranking dropping from 149th out of 243 middle schools in Mississippi in 2022-2023 to 124th out of 266 in 2024-2025, and its rating decreasing from 2 out of 5 stars to 3 out of 5 stars during this time.
Fifth Street School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in 5th and 7th grades. However, the school performs better than the district and state averages in 6th and 7th grade Mathematics. The school also faces challenges related to high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Despite these challenges, Fifth Street School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which is lower than the state average. This suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to its students. Overall, the data indicates that Fifth Street School is facing some academic and socioeconomic hurdles, and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
