Choctaw County Schools

Summary:

The Choctaw County School District in Mississippi operates 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Ackerman Elementary, Weir Elementary School, and French Camp Elementary School) and 1 high school (Choctaw County High School). The district serves a community with a high level of economic need, as indicated by the large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Ackerman Elementary and French Camp Elementary School stand out as high-performing schools, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Mississippi. Both schools have exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates in the 80-90% range in core subjects. In contrast, the district as a whole faces challenges in certain academic areas, such as Algebra I and 8th grade Science, where proficiency rates lag behind the state average.

While the district's graduation rate at Choctaw County High School is above the state average, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate is a concern, with all schools reporting rates higher than the state average. Addressing the factors contributing to chronic absenteeism could be an important area of focus for the district to improve overall student achievement and well-being.
