Summary:

The Clarksdale Municipal School District in Mississippi operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 128 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the district.

None of the schools in the Clarksdale district stand out as high-performing. All schools perform well below state averages on standardized tests, with most ranking in the bottom 20% of schools in Mississippi. The highest-performing school is Booker T. Washington International Studies, an elementary school where 34.8% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 34.7% were proficient or better in Mathematics - still far below the state averages. The district's student population faces significant economic challenges, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The data paints a concerning picture of the Clarksdale schools, which consistently underperform compared to state standards across all grade levels and subjects. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as inadequate funding, teacher quality, and student support services, will be crucial for helping these students reach their full potential and providing them with the educational opportunities they deserve.
