Summary

Loyd Star Attendance Center is a public PK-12 school in Brookhaven, MS, serving 741 students and functioning as a community K-12 school within the Lincoln County School District. About 67.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.6:1. It sits in the middle of its comparison group in terms of size and demographics, but its academic and graduation outcomes reveal some clear concerns, especially in mathematics, middle school performance, and high school completion.

The school's 4-year graduation rate fell to 79.7%, a 12-point drop over four years and the lowest among nearby schools—West Lincoln School (97.5%), Enterprise Attendance Center (93.8%), Bogue Chitto School (87.3%), and Wesson Attendance Center (84.1%). Math proficiency is a significant weakness, with average proficiency around 34% in grades 3-8, compared to 71% at both West Lincoln School and Wesson Attendance Center. Only 17.7% of 8th graders were proficient in math, and Algebra I proficiency dropped from 75% to 38.5%. Chronic absenteeism (21.5%) is also higher than all comparable schools, which likely compounds these academic challenges.

There are bright spots, however. Fifth graders reached 74% proficiency in English Language Arts—the highest among nearby schools and well above the state average—and 56% in math. Science scores lag the state, but 8th grade science improved from 36.6% to 53.3% in one year. The weakest results cluster around 7th and 8th grade, suggesting students are entering high school without foundational math skills. Since poverty levels are similar across these schools, attendance and middle-school math intervention appear to be the most promising levers for improvement.
