Summary:

The Lee County School District in Mississippi consists of 13 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district serves students across a range of communities, with some schools standing out for their exceptional performance.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Mooreville Elementary School, Mooreville Middle School, and Mooreville High School, all of which consistently rank among the best in the state. These schools boast strong test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and high graduation rates. In contrast, Shannon Elementary School and Verona Elementary School have the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in math and English language arts.

The data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district, with a difference of over 50 percentage points in some subject areas. This suggests that the district may need to focus on providing additional support and resources to the struggling schools to help improve student outcomes. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the district is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted strategies to address the underlying causes.
