Summary:
The South Delta School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, South Delta Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance data reveals significant challenges, with consistently low academic achievement across multiple subjects and grade levels compared to state averages.
South Delta Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.6% to 31.8% in core subjects, compared to state averages of 48.3% to 66.3%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.
Despite its small size, South Delta Elementary School ranks 349 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, reflecting its overall poor performance compared to other schools in the state. These findings suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism, in order to improve educational outcomes for the students.
