Summary

Mary Reid School (K-4) is an elementary school located in Potts Camp, Mississippi, serving 247 students in grades kindergarten through 4th. The school is part of the Marshall County School District, which is ranked 89 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Analysis of Mary Reid School reveals several areas of concern. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 29.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.4% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.48% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Comparing Mary Reid School to other nearby schools, such as Galena Elementary School and Ashland Elementary School, reveals that the challenges faced by Mary Reid School are not unique to the school. However, when comparing to New Albany Elementary School, which is in a different district, the significant differences in test scores and chronic absenteeism rates suggest that district-level factors may play a role in student performance. Overall, Mary Reid School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools, indicating that the school may be facing long-term, systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
