Summary

Edna M Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Leland, Mississippi, serving 236 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Leland School District, which is ranked 95 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edna M Scott Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower test scores than the state average across all grade levels, and a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Akin Elementary School, Edna M Scott Elementary School consistently underperforms in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools for the past 10 years, suggesting long-standing struggles to improve student outcomes.

Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively. Targeted interventions and support programs tailored to the specific needs of the student population may help address the high chronic absenteeism and low test scores. With a focus on addressing the unique needs of the community, Edna M Scott Elementary School has the potential to improve student performance and provide a quality education for its students.
