Summary

Friars Point Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 153 students in grades K-6 in Friars Point, Mississippi, which is part of the Coahoma County School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a ranking in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools.

Friars Point Elementary's test scores are consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 38.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.4% statewide. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also low. Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking as low as 355 out of 377 schools in 2022-2023. This poor performance is likely exacerbated by the fact that 100% of Friars Point Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the other elementary schools in the Coahoma County School District, such as Lyon Elementary and Jonestown Elementary, also have relatively low performance metrics, Friars Point Elementary consistently ranks lower than these nearby schools, suggesting that it faces unique challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on the specific needs of the school and its community.
