Summary:
The Marshall County School District in Mississippi operates 4 elementary schools serving grades K-4 or K-7, with a focus on providing education to economically disadvantaged communities.
Among the standout schools, Mary Reid School (K-4) has the highest statewide ranking and the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, often exceeding district and state averages. Galena Elementary School (K-7) also performs well, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as 8th grade Science.
However, the district faces significant challenges, with all 4 schools having high rates of chronic absenteeism and 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, several schools, such as Byhalia Elementary School (K-4) and H.W. Byers Elementary (K-4), have seen their performance decline in recent years, suggesting a need for improvement across the district.
