Summary

Woolmarket Elementary serves 533 students in grades K–6 in Biloxi, MS, as part of the Harrison County School District, and currently holds a 4-star rating with a respectable but declining statewide rank of 112th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools.

Woolmarket Elementary was once among the very best schools in Mississippi, earning 5-star ratings and top-15 statewide finishes in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022. Since then, the school has trended steadily downward to its current 70th-percentile position. The most striking pattern is in the test scores: 3rd grade is the weakest grade, with just 36% of students proficient in math and 44% in ELA—well below district and state averages. But by 6th grade, students are notably above state averages, with 74% proficient in math and 60.8% in ELA. That suggests students who stay at the school make strong progress over time, but early elementary instruction is a real concern. On a positive note, 5th grade science has been a consistent bright spot, hovering around 81–84% proficient over the past several years. Chronic absenteeism (16.4%) is better than the district (21.1%) and state (23.9%) averages, and the student-teacher ratio of 17.4 is on the higher side compared to nearby schools.

The comparison to North Woolmarket Elementary and Middle School is striking. Just 3.5 miles away and in the same district, North Woolmarket has climbed to 4th in the state with 87.5% 3rd grade ELA proficiency and 89.1% math proficiency. Meanwhile, Bayou View Elementary in Gulfport—a school where 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch—is ranked #1 in Mississippi, showing that poverty does not have to limit achievement. Woolmarket's own history proves it is capable of elite performance. The key question is how the school can reverse the post-2022 decline, stabilize early elementary achievement, and build on its clear strengths in upper grades and science.
