Summary

Louisville Elementary is a grades 3–5 elementary school in Louisville, Mississippi, serving 290 students in the Louisville Municipal School District. Historically a steady, mid-tier school, it typically ranked in the 36th–43rd percentile and earned 2 stars. But the last two years show a clear downturn: the school dropped to the 15th percentile in 2024–2025 (1 star) and only recovered slightly to the 20th percentile in 2025–2026 (1 star). The student body has very high economic need, with 90.7% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25 (and 100% in the two prior years). The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 13.1:1—better than Fair Elementary's 20.7 and close to Ackerman Elementary's 13.4.

Academically, the school performs well below district and state averages. In 2025–2026, average proficiency across tested subjects was roughly 38.5%, compared to about 44.4% for the district and 54.0% for Mississippi. The gaps are especially large in math: 3rd grade math proficiency was just 18.8%, versus 48.8% statewide. ELA scores are also below state averages, though slightly closer. There is a consistent pattern where 5th graders outperform 3rd graders in both subjects, suggesting students improve as they spend more years in the school—or that older cohorts received stronger early instruction. Fifth grade science has been a relative bright spot, nearly matching state and district averages in recent years.

The comparison with Ackerman Elementary, just 14.5 miles away, is striking. Ackerman has nearly identical poverty rates (99.35% free/reduced lunch) and a similar student-teacher ratio, yet ranks in the 92nd–99th percentile with 5-star ratings. This shows Louisville's low performance is not inevitable. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism at Louisville (20.0%) is below the district (24.8%) and state (23.9%), though it jumped from 10.0% the prior year. The immediate feeder, Fair Elementary, has higher chronic absenteeism, meaning attendance challenges may start before 3rd grade. Still, pockets of competitiveness—like 5th grade science at 62.9% proficiency, close to the state's 71.5%—show that improvement is possible.
