Summary:
The Wilkinson County School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Wilkinson County Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been consistently low, with declining rankings and significantly below-average proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Mississippi state averages.
Wilkinson County Elementary is ranked 367 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has been steadily declining over the past few years, going from 351 out of 377 schools in 2022-2023 to 374 out of 390 schools in 2023-2024. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only slight improvements in some areas over the past two years.
Additionally, Wilkinson County Elementary has a concerning 23.9% chronic absenteeism rate and a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is slightly lower than the state average. Given the school's consistently low academic performance and the challenges faced by its student population, there is a clear need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes.
