Summary

Boyd Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Jackson Public School District in Jackson, MS. With 341 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Boyd Elementary School over the past decade, earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Key areas of concern at Boyd Elementary School include extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and a 100% free/reduced lunch rate indicating a high-poverty student population. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.4% of 3rd graders, 17.2% of 4th graders, and 32.9% of 5th graders are projected to be proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 49.4%, 52.1%, and 55.9% respectively. Several nearby Jackson Public School District schools, such as Casey Elementary, North Jackson Elementary, and McWillie Elementary, significantly outperform Boyd Elementary School on these metrics.

Despite being a magnet school, Boyd Elementary School does not appear to be providing the same level of academic rigor and performance as other high-performing magnet schools in the district, such as Ida B. Wells APAC. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and providing targeted resources and support to the high-poverty student population should be key priorities for the school and district.
