Summary

Alcorn Central Elementary School (ACES) is a PK-4 public school in Glen, MS, serving 510 students within the Alcorn School District — a district rated 4 stars and ranked in the top 20% of Mississippi districts. In the latest 2025-2026 ranking, ACES earned a 4-star rating, placing 101st out of 377 elementary schools statewide, a notable jump from 145th the year before.

Academically, ACES stands out most in 4th grade, where proficiency rates far exceed state averages: 67.9% in ELA (vs. 52.4% statewide) and 72.9% in math (vs. 51.5% statewide). These results are especially striking compared to nearby Corinth Elementary School, just 4 miles away, which posts similar economic demographics but trails by 25-36 percentage points in these subjects. ACES also keeps chronic absenteeism remarkably low at 13.4% — about half the state average of 23.9% and well below schools like Burnsville Elementary School (27.6%) and Iuka Elementary School (24.4%). A favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.1 further supports student success.

Despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population (71.8% free/reduced lunch), ACES ranks in the top 27% of Mississippi elementary schools — a sign that its attendance culture and instructional practices are making a difference. The school's recent ranking improvement was driven by surges in 4th-grade scores, but 3rd-grade performance remains a weak spot, dipping below district and state averages in 2025-2026. Within the same district, ACES actually outperforms Kossuth Elementary School in 4th-grade ELA (67.9% vs. 58.3%) while serving a higher-need student body. For parents, ACES offers a strong, above-average elementary experience with a clear academic bright spot in 4th grade — and room to grow in the earlier grades.
