Summary

Earl Travillion Attendance Center is a small PK–8 school in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, serving 261 students in the Forrest County School District. Nearly every student (96.93%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch, and about 22% were chronically absent in 2023-24 — a big improvement from the 30.5% rate two years earlier, but still a concern. On the plus side, class sizes are the smallest in the area at a 9.7:1 student-teacher ratio. However, academics lag significantly: the school ranks 311th out of 377 Mississippi elementary/middle schools (18th percentile) and holds a 1-star rating, a pattern that has persisted for the past decade.

The starkest comparison is with Dixie Attendance Center, the other PK–8 school in the same district, located just five miles away. Dixie ranks in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars, and its average test proficiency is nearly double Earl Travillion’s (64% vs. 33%). For example, 4th grade ELA proficiency is 19.2% at Earl Travillion versus 66.7% at Dixie; 8th grade ELA is 16.6% versus 55.8%. Even more telling, several nearby high-poverty schools like Rowan Elementary, Woodley Elementary, and Grace Christian Elementary serve similarly disadvantaged populations (99–100% free/reduced lunch) yet rank in the 68th–81st percentiles. That shows poverty alone doesn’t explain the results, and there is real room for improvement.

There are a few bright spots to build on: 3rd grade math matches the state average, and 8th grade science exceeds it. The school has also made progress from the 4th percentile in 2016-17 to the current 18th percentile, though it remains at 1 star. The biggest levers are improving attendance, providing early-grade literacy and math interventions, and addressing the sharp drop-off in 4th grade performance. With small classes and a dedicated staff, the pieces are there — but sustained, targeted support is needed to close the gap with nearby schools.
