Elementary Schools in Pearl Public Schools

Summary:

The Pearl Public School District in Mississippi is home to three elementary schools: Pearl Lower Elementary School, Northside Elementary School, and Pearl Upper School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide educational opportunities in the Pearl, Mississippi area.

Among the three schools, Northside Elementary School and Pearl Upper School stand out as academic performers. Northside Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd-grade MAAP/English Language Arts and MAAP/Mathematics proficiency rates, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Meanwhile, Pearl Upper School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Mississippi, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and demonstrates strong performance in 4th and 5th-grade MAAP/English Language Arts, MAAP/Mathematics, and MAAP/Science, often exceeding the district and state averages.

However, all three schools in the Pearl Public School District face challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% and a significant proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.87% to 68.98%. These factors may impact the schools' resources, funding, and the support available to students and their families, and the district and schools should investigate the underlying causes and implement strategies to address these issues.
