Summary

Itawamba Attendance Center in Fulton, MS, is a combined elementary and middle school serving 1,129 students in Pre-K through 8th grade within the Itawamba County School District. The school earned a 4-star rating and ranks 108th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools (71st percentile) for 2025–26, outperforming its district's overall standing. After a rough stretch in the late 2010s, the school has rebounded to solidly above-average performance, sitting in the 71st–83rd percentile range in recent years.

Mathematics is Itawamba's clear academic strength. In 2025–26, math proficiency exceeded state averages at every grade level—3rd graders hit 73.4% proficiency versus 48.8% statewide, while 6th graders posted 75.2% versus 52.7% statewide. The school also shines in 8th grade science, with 70.3% proficiency versus 57.8% statewide. English language arts is solid but less dominant, running about 50.7% proficiency across grades 3–8 compared to roughly 47.0% statewide. Parents should note two relative weak spots: 3rd grade ELA (47.4% vs. 48.5% statewide) and 5th grade science (66.1% vs. 71.5% statewide).

Compared to nearby schools, Itawamba is the top performer among the Itawamba County attendance centers, outpacing Fairview Attendance Center (3 stars) and Dorsey Attendance Center (1 star). It also holds its own against strong neighbors like Mooreville Elementary School and East Amory Elementary, though those schools do better in 5th grade science and early-grade reading. Itawamba's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3% is below the district rate of 18.9% and the state rate of 23.9%. About 67.7% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch—a moderate poverty level compared to peers like Verona Elementary School (99.2%) and Fairview (85.8%). Its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is the highest in the comparison set, yet the school still produces strong outcomes. Because Itawamba serves through 8th grade, its strong middle-school math and science results are a particular asset.
