Summary:
The Forest Municipal School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Forest Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with a significant gap in recent years.
Forest Elementary School is ranked 277 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 280 out of 377 schools in 2022-2023 to 322 out of 390 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
The school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. This, combined with the school's underperformance and high chronic absenteeism, suggests that Forest Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its students and improve academic outcomes.
