Summary

Coleman Middle School is a public middle school located in Greenville, Mississippi, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 330 students. The school is part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which is ranked 104 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Coleman Middle School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, around 8-20%, compared to the state averages of 37-53%. The school's Algebra I proficiency rates, while higher than its overall Math performance, still lag behind the state average, indicating a need for improvement in advanced math instruction. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 40.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and suggests a potential issue with student engagement and attendance.

While the nearby Simmons Junior High School and T.L. Weston Middle School also struggle academically, they generally outperform Coleman Middle School in test scores and other metrics. This indicates that Coleman Middle School may face unique challenges that require targeted support. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, 100%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be a significant contributor to the school's low academic performance, which will require a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address.
