Summary

East Amory Elementary serves 314 students in grades 3–5 in Amory, MS, and is part of the Amory School District, which ranks 40th out of 134 districts statewide. The school has earned a 4-star rating every year of available data and ranked 76th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 80th percentile. Along with West Amory Elementary, which serves grades K–2, the two schools form the district's K–5 feeder pattern, and East Amory's consistent performance suggests students transition well into upper elementary.

Academically, East Amory outperforms state averages in nearly every subject and grade level tested. In 2025–2026 MAAP testing, ELA proficiency ranged from 59.3% to 68.3% across grades 3–5, compared to state averages of 48.5%–55.8%. Math proficiency was 61.4% in 3rd grade, 69.4% in 4th grade, and 50.4% in 5th grade. Science is a standout: 84% of 5th graders were proficient, well above the state average of 71.5% and higher than nearby Nettleton Elementary (74.7%) and Itawamba Attendance Center (66.1%). One area worth watching is 5th grade math, which dipped to 50.4% this year, though it remains slightly above the state average.

East Amory maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8, lower than most nearby schools. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 64.65% is notably lower than schools such as Okolona Elementary (100%), Aberdeen Elementary (99.13%), and Shannon Elementary (82.88%). Chronic absenteeism was 22.7% in 2023–2024 — better than the district average of 27.4% but higher than several peers, including Dorsey Attendance Center (14.8%). Given the school's already strong academics, reducing absenteeism could push performance even higher.
