Summary

New Hebron Attendance Center is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Lawrence County School District in Mississippi. With 259 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools over the past decade, currently holding a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Hebron Attendance Center faces several key challenges. It has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 31.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby Monticello Elementary (23.9%). The school's test scores also lag behind state and district averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with just 23.1% of 4th graders proficient in math compared to 56.6% statewide. Additionally, the school serves an extremely high-poverty student population, with 93.05% to 98.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While New Hebron Attendance Center has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2-11.8, its performance has steadily declined over the past decade. When compared to nearby schools like Mendenhall Elementary and Monticello Elementary, New Hebron Attendance Center generally underperforms on key metrics. Addressing the root causes of these challenges will be critical for the school to improve student outcomes and climb the rankings in the state.
