Summary

Corinth Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 1,096 students in grades PK-4 in Corinth, Mississippi, which is part of the Corinth School District. While the district is ranked 67 out of 130 in the state, Corinth Elementary School has faced some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average test scores compared to the state and nearby schools.

Corinth Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 21.2% to 28.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Iuka Elementary (23.9%) and Anderson Elementary (23.9%). Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have consistently lagged behind the state averages and the scores of nearby schools. For example, in 2024-2025, Corinth Elementary's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 44.6%, compared to the state average of 49.4%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 49.1%, compared to the state average of 56.6%.

One potential contributing factor to Corinth Elementary School's challenges may be its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.26% to 99.74% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools like Iuka Elementary (64.72%) and Anderson Elementary (68.07%), suggesting that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. While socioeconomic factors can impact educational outcomes, the school's declining performance over the years, from a statewide ranking of 87th out of 402 schools in 2014-2015 to 223rd out of 383 schools in 2024-2025, indicates that there may be room for improvement in addressing the school's challenges.
