Summary:
The George County School District in Mississippi is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high poverty levels, a closer look reveals distinct differences in their academic performance and school characteristics.
Two schools stand out as top performers in the district: Central Elementary School and Rocky Creek Elementary School. Both schools consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Mississippi, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Central Elementary boasts the highest student enrollment in the district and outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Rocky Creek Elementary also excels academically, with strong test scores that surpass the district and state in most grade levels.
In contrast, the other elementary schools in the district have more mixed performance, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state averages while others fall behind. Additionally, all 5 schools in the data set have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the student population. The district's racial makeup is predominantly white, with Lc Hatcher Elementary School being the most diverse. The data suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the specific challenges faced by individual schools and student populations within the George County School District.
