Summary

Agricola Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Lucedale, Mississippi, part of the George County School District. With 555 students, Agricola Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 67th and 177th out of Mississippi's elementary schools over the past 10 years, currently ranking 160th with a 3-star rating.

While Agricola Elementary excels in science, with 5th grade proficiency rates ranging from 57.4% to 96.3% over the past few years, its performance on English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments has been more uneven, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 24.1% to as high as 73.2% across grade levels and subject areas. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 31.8%, significantly higher than the state average and other nearby schools in the district. Agricola Elementary's extremely high poverty rates, with 99.48% to 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its uneven academic performance.

When compared to other elementary schools in the George County School District, Agricola Elementary generally performs on par or slightly below the district averages in ELA and Math, but significantly outperforms the district in science. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools like Rocky Creek Elementary and Central Elementary. By addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing targeted interventions and support in ELA and Math, Agricola Elementary has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes and ranking within the state.
