Summary

East Amory School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Amory School District in Amory, Mississippi, with 346 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average on academic measures, ranking 80 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Amory School's strong performance is evident across grade levels and subjects. In 2024-2025, 65.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 49.4%, and 77% were proficient or better in math, compared to 53.3% statewide. The school also outperforms nearby schools like Dorsey Attendance Center and Itawamba Attendance Center on test scores, particularly in math and science. However, East Amory School faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.7% to 27.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, East Amory School has maintained a consistent 4-star rating and ranking in the top 25% of Mississippi elementary schools. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.7 to 13.7, suggest it is effectively serving its students, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 62.14% to 99.19% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. This high level of economic disadvantage is a shared challenge among schools in the region, including Okolona Elementary and Aberdeen Elementary.
