Summary:

The South Delta School District in Mississippi operates three schools: South Delta Elementary School, South Delta High School, and South Delta Middle School. The district as a whole is ranked 124 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that all three schools are performing well below average compared to state-wide metrics.

The data shows that proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the 5th-grade proficiency rate in English Language Arts at South Delta Elementary School is 25.9%, compared to the state average of 55.9%. Additionally, all three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, and South Delta High School had a 4-year graduation rate of 89.4% in 2022-2023, which is slightly below the state average.

The consistently low performance of the schools in the South Delta School District, which serves a high-poverty student population with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the district is struggling to provide a high-quality education to all students. Addressing the systemic issues within the district and implementing effective strategies to drive student achievement should be top priorities for the district's leadership.
