Revive

The Revive district contains just one school: Revive Collegiate, an elementary school serving grades K through 3 in Jackson, MS. With 367 students enrolled, this is a small district, and because it has only one campus, district and school statistics are effectively identical. The district currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 11th percentile of Mississippi districts (119 out of 134), placing it in the bottom tier of the state.

Academically, Revive Collegiate shows significant challenges, especially in mathematics. Only 20.3% of 3rd graders and 22.2% of 4th graders are proficient in math, compared to state averages of 48.8% and 51.5% respectively. In English Language Arts, 3rd grade proficiency is 29.2% versus the state's 48.5%, but 4th grade ELA proficiency is 49.2%, just 3.2 points below the state average of 52.4%. This suggests that while early literacy lags, reading and writing skills improve substantially by 4th grade. Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern, with 36.9% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024, well above the state rate of 23.9%.

The school serves an extremely high-poverty population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The student-teacher ratio is 21.5. It's worth noting that the school's listed grade span is K-3, yet test scores are reported for both 3rd and 4th grades, which could indicate a recent grade-span change or a data reporting nuance. Since Revive Collegiate is the only school in the district, there is no middle or high school feeder system; students must transition to other schools for secondary education. The path forward for this school lies in strengthening math instruction, improving attendance, and supporting students affected by concentrated poverty, while building on the relative strength seen in 4th grade literacy.
