Elementary Schools in Enterprise

Enterprise, Mississippi is served by a single elementary school, Enterprise Elementary, which enrolls 390 students in grades PK–4 and consistently earns top ratings that place it among the best elementary schools in the state.

Enterprise Elementary stands out as a remarkably high-performing school. The district, which is effectively represented by this one elementary school, has earned a 5-star rating and ranks 5th out of 134 districts in Mississippi. The school itself has maintained 4- or 5-star ratings every year, with its most recent rank at 50th out of 377 elementary schools statewide (87th percentile). In the prior year it ranked even higher at 29th out of 383. Academically, the school outperforms Mississippi state averages in all four tested subjects in the most recent year. The greatest strength is 4th grade math, where nearly 9 out of 10 students are proficient—roughly 37 percentage points above the state average. Fourth grade ELA is also very strong, at 76.9% proficiency compared to the state’s 52.4%. Third grade math shows solid performance at 59.2%, more than 10 points above the state average. The main concern is 3rd grade ELA, which dropped sharply from 77.5% to 57.8% in one year, though it still remains above the state average of 48.5%.

Beyond test scores, attendance at Enterprise Elementary is a clear asset. The chronic absenteeism rate is 13.1%, well below the district average of 14.3% and far below the state average of 23.9%. This likely supports the school’s strong academic results. About half of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school continues to achieve above-average outcomes, suggesting effective instruction and a supportive learning environment. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, families can expect that students receive strong foundational skills in elementary school. The main area to monitor is third-grade reading, but overall Enterprise Elementary remains a consistently excellent choice for families in this area.
