Summary:
The Nettleton School District in Mississippi has two middle schools: Nettleton Elementary School and Nettleton Junior High School. Both schools serve students in grades 5-8 and have similar performance metrics, with both being rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The data shows that both Nettleton Elementary School and Nettleton Junior High School have high chronic absenteeism rates of around 24% and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 80% for each school. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios of 13.7, their test scores on the MAAP exams are generally below the state averages, with some inconsistencies in performance across grade levels and subject areas.
Notably, the data indicates a trend of declining performance for both schools over the past few years, with their statewide rankings dropping significantly. This raises concerns about the district's ability to provide the necessary resources and support to ensure all students can succeed, particularly given the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students served by these schools.
