Elementary Schools in Quitman School District

Summary:

The Quitman School District in Mississippi is home to two elementary schools: Quitman Lower Elementary School and Quitman Upper Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face similar challenges, including low rankings within the state, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism concerns.

Neither Quitman Lower Elementary School nor Quitman Upper Elementary School stand out as exceptional performers, with the Quitman School District ranked 93 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and holding a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% and 100% of their students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income population.

While Quitman Upper Elementary School showed some areas of stronger academic performance, such as in 4th and 5th grade Math and 5th grade Science, the school's overall proficiency rates were still below the state averages. This suggests that both Quitman Lower Elementary School and Quitman Upper Elementary School face significant challenges in improving student outcomes and require targeted interventions and support to address the district's low rankings, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism issues.
