Summary

Weir Elementary School serves 142 students in grades PK-6 in the small town of Weir, MS, as part of Choctaw County Schools. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 237th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools — a drop from its 3-star performance in 2023-2024. However, it has climbed significantly from a 1-star rating in 2016-2017. All students (100%) qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 students per teacher. Chronic absenteeism (14.9%) is well below the state average of 23.9%.

The most striking finding is how far Weir lags behind other elementary schools in its own district. While Ackerman Elementary ranked 32nd in the state and French Camp Elementary ranked 34th, Weir ranked 237th. All three schools serve nearly identical high-poverty populations, so demographics don't explain the gap. In 2025-2026, Weir trailed the district in all nine tested grade/subject combinations, with the largest gap in 4th grade English Language Arts: just 30% proficient versus the district's 70.2%. Despite much smaller class sizes, Weir's outcomes are weaker than nearby schools with larger classes — suggesting instructional quality matters more than class size. Several schools with worse attendance, such as Eupora Elementary, still outperform Weir.

Still, there are bright spots. Weir beat the state average in 3rd grade ELA, 3rd grade math, and 6th grade math, and sixth grade math has been a consistent strength for three years. The school's small enrollment means results can swing widely from year to year. Weir's 2023-2024 year showed real promise, including exceptional 5th grade science scores. That history suggests the school is capable of much better outcomes, and the foundation — low class sizes and good attendance — is there for a comeback.
