Summary:
The Yazoo City Municipal School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Bettie E Woolfolk Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with a 0-star rating and a ranking of 255 out of 266 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year.
Bettie E Woolfolk Middle School's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 6-20% of students meeting proficiency standards in these subjects. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% 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 22.3 to 1 is slightly higher than the state average.
These findings suggest that Bettie E Woolfolk Middle School requires targeted interventions and support to address the academic and socioeconomic needs of its students. Strategies to improve attendance, provide additional academic support, and address the root causes of the school's underperformance should be a priority for the Yazoo City Municipal School District. With the right interventions and resources, the school can work to improve student achievement and close the gap with state averages.
