Summary

Earl Travillion Attendance Center is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with 258 students enrolled. The school is part of the Forrest County School District, which is ranked 46 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Earl Travillion Attendance Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Mississippi elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has faced significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, substantially lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was just 29.4%, compared to the district's 64.4% and the state's 49.4%.

When comparing Earl Travillion Attendance Center to other nearby schools, such as Dixie Attendance Center, the performance gap is quite stark. Dixie Attendance Center, also in the Forrest County School District, consistently ranks in the top 25% of Mississippi elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas. Addressing the issues at Earl Travillion Attendance Center will require a concerted effort and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners.
