Summary:
The Nettleton School District in Mississippi serves students from elementary through high school, with 4 schools in the district including 1 elementary, 2 middle, and 1 high school. The district faces some academic challenges, with inconsistent performance across the schools, but also has some standout schools that are showing promising results.
Nettleton High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.4% and strong performance on the U.S. History1 End of Course exam, with 80.7% proficiency compared to the state average of 69.7%. In contrast, Nettleton Junior High School and Nettleton Elementary School generally perform below state averages on MAAP exams. However, Nettleton Primary School shows impressive 3rd grade proficiency rates on MAAP English Language Arts and Mathematics exams, exceeding state averages.
Across the district, there are some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.9% and a large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.9% at Nettleton High School to 84.92% at Nettleton Primary School. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the overall academic performance of the district, which is ranked 79 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Addressing these issues and building on the strengths of the standout schools could lead to improved outcomes for students in the Nettleton School District.
