Mississippi Achievement School District Of Yazoo City


Summary:

The Yazoo City Municipal School District operates three schools - McCoy Elementary School, Yazoo City High School, and Bettie E Woolfolk Middle School - that collectively serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in Yazoo City, Mississippi, a small city with a population of around 11,000 people.

Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools in the Yazoo City Municipal School District. All three schools have relatively low statewide rankings, with McCoy Elementary and Yazoo City High School ranked in the bottom 10-15% of schools in Mississippi. Additionally, all three schools have 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. The schools face significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, extremely low test scores compared to state averages, and 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Despite these challenges, the district does have some bright spots, such as Yazoo City High School's 89.4% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly below the state average but still relatively strong compared to the other metrics. However, the overall picture suggests that the Yazoo City Municipal School District is struggling across the board, and a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to school improvement will likely be necessary to address the systemic challenges facing the district's schools.
