Summary

East Flora Elementary is a small, PK–5 public school in Flora, Mississippi, that serves 249 students and is part of the Madison County Schools district. The school has a very different demographic profile than most of its district neighbors, with nearly 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. That places it far closer to high-poverty schools like Highland Elementary School (79%) and Bentonia Gibbs School (99%) than to nearby Madison Station Elementary (14%) or Mannsdale Elementary School (11%), which are among the top-rated schools in the state.

Despite the challenges that come with high poverty, East Flora has made clear progress over the past decade, moving from the bottom 15th percentile of Mississippi elementary schools in 2015–2016 to the middle of the pack today. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks 204th out of 377 elementary schools statewide. One notable asset is the very low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, the lowest among nearby schools, which allows for more individualized attention. However, chronic absenteeism is a serious concern, with 25.1% of students missing enough school to be considered chronically absent—roughly five times the rate at Madison Station and well above the state average.

Academically, East Flora shows a split profile. It is competitive with or above state averages in upper-elementary English language arts and science, with 5th-grade science proficiency at 75.8%, well above Highland Elementary (66.8%) and the state. Third-grade math is also a relative strength at 53.6% proficiency. However, math performance drops sharply in 4th and 5th grades, where proficiency falls to 31.3% and 36.4%, far below district averages. With its low student-teacher ratio and a proven ability to improve, targeted support in upper-elementary math and a serious effort to improve attendance could help East Flora move into consistent 3-star territory.
