Summary:

Holmes County Consolidated, a high-poverty district ranked 116th out of 134 districts in Mississippi with a 1-star rating, serves four elementary schools—Durant Elementary School, William Dean Junior Elementary School, S.V. Marshall Elementary School, and GPE School—covering grades PK-5 and K-5 with a combined enrollment of 1,073 students, every one of whom qualifies for free/reduced lunch. The district as a whole trails state averages significantly in ELA (29.6% vs. 52.2%) and math (31.4% vs. 50.0%), though science proficiency is more competitive.

Durant Elementary School is the clear standout and the only school with upward momentum. It jumped from the 11th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 36th percentile in 2025-2026, posting the strongest ELA (36.8%) and math (39.4%) averages in the district. Its 76.7% fifth-grade science proficiency exceeds the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is the only one below the state mark. By contrast, William Dean Junior Elementary School is the biggest concern: its ranking has fallen to the 6th percentile, its science proficiency is just 45%, and it has the highest student-teacher ratio (17.7). S.V. Marshall Elementary School impresses in science (74% proficient) despite having the district's highest chronic absenteeism (34.1%). GPE School lacks 2025-2026 data but ranked in the 11th percentile in 2024-2025 with a 32.2% absenteeism rate.

Chronic absenteeism strongly tracks performance: the three lower-performing schools all exceed 30% absenteeism, while Durant's rate is below the state average of 23.9%. Science is a relative strength across the district—both Durant and S.V. Marshall exceed state proficiency—but William Dean lags far behind. Smaller class sizes don't guarantee better outcomes, as GPE has the lowest ratio (12.7) yet struggles academically. Grade-level scores swing sharply due to small enrollments, so single-year results should be interpreted cautiously. For parents, Durant offers the strongest overall foundation, while William Dean warrants close attention, and GPE needs current data to assess its direction.
