Summary

Weir Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Weir, Mississippi, with an enrollment of 126 students. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Weir Elementary's performance lags significantly behind other elementary schools in the Choctaw County School District, such as French Camp Elementary and Ackerman Elementary, which have much higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. Weir Elementary's statewide ranking and star rating have also declined over the past several years, going from a rank of 190 out of 382 schools and a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a rank of 218 out of 383 schools and a 2-star rating in 2024-2025.

However, the small size of Weir Elementary and its low student-teacher ratio may present opportunities for the school to implement more personalized, targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its students and improve academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges of chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and the high concentration of poverty will be crucial for Weir Elementary to provide a high-quality education for its students.
