Summary

Midtown Public Charter School in Jackson, MS, is a single-school charter district serving 420 students in grades PK–8, an unusually wide span for a school classified as a middle school. Every student qualified for free or reduced lunch in the 2022-23 through 2024-25 school years, reflecting an almost universally economically disadvantaged population. Academically, the school sits near the bottom of Mississippi's rankings: in 2025-26 it placed 244th out of 260 middle schools (6th percentile) and 126th of 134 districts statewide.

Subject-level results tell a more nuanced story. Math is a relative strength — average proficiency across grades 4–8 was 29.1%, compared to 22.9% in English Language Arts. Seventh-grade math (36.4%) outpaced every non-magnet peer in the area, including Reimagine Prep (30.6%), Smilow Prep (14.5%), Kirksey Middle School (23.7%), and Blackburn Middle School (16.6%). Science is even stronger: 5th-grade proficiency jumped from 14.8% in 2022-23 to 59.5% in 2025-26, and 8th-grade science (40.5%) beat all nearby charter and neighborhood schools except Bailey APAC Middle School and Northwest Middle School. ELA is the biggest weakness, with just 16.4% of 7th graders and 16.5% of 8th graders proficient.

Other factors matter too. Chronic absenteeism was 30.1% in 2023-24 — above the state rate of 23.9% but better than several nearby schools, including Blackburn Middle School (57.6%) and Reimagine Prep (41.9%). The student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is lower than most neighboring charters (Reimagine Prep is 21.7), though higher than Jackson Public Schools middle schools. Notably, Midtown reports no Algebra I End-of-Course results, suggesting 8th graders are not being accelerated into high school Algebra I — an opportunity available at Pearl Junior High School (97.8% proficient) and Old Town Middle School (100%). Finally, scores have been volatile from year to year, so it's wise to view any single year's ranking with caution.
