Elementary Schools in Calhoun County School District

Summary:

The Calhoun County School District in Mississippi is home to two elementary schools, Bruce Elementary School and Calhoun City Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade.

Bruce Elementary School consistently outperforms Calhoun City Elementary School in statewide rankings, test scores, and student-teacher ratios. Bruce Elementary School ranks in the top 50% of Mississippi elementary schools and has higher test scores than the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, while Calhoun City Elementary School maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, it performs better than the district and state averages in 4th grade Mathematics but lags behind in 3rd grade Mathematics and both 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts.
