Summary

West Clay Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Cedarbluff, Mississippi, with an enrollment of 101 students. The school is part of the West Point Consolidated School District, which is ranked 102 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Clay Elementary has shown some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates than the district in 4th grade ELA (63.7% vs 44.8%) and 4th grade Math (72.8% vs 42.5%), the school has also struggled in other areas. It has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.0% to 31.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of around 15-20%. Additionally, the school's performance in 6th grade ELA (18.2% vs 33.1%) and 3rd grade Math (27.8% vs 32.4%) has been lower than the district averages.

One potential advantage for West Clay Elementary is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.9 to 9.6 over the past few years, lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios between 11-15 students per teacher. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby schools, which range from 47-100% free/reduced lunch. Despite these challenges, West Clay Elementary has performed better than the other schools in the West Point Consolidated District on many metrics, but it still struggles with overall academic achievement and declining performance over time.
