Summary

Mary Reid School is a small elementary school in Potts Camp, Mississippi, serving 270 students in grades K-4 as part of the Marshall County School District. The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with nearly 99% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch in 2024-25, making it one of the highest-poverty schools in the region. Students are tested in 3rd and 4th grade, and the school has earned a 2-star rating from the state in recent years.

One of Mary Reid's standout strengths is early-grade math. In 2023-24, 62.1% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, far above the district's 33.0% and the state's 53.3%. Even in 2025-26, when scores dipped to 39.7%, the school still outpaced the Marshall County district average of 27.3% by more than 12 points. Attendance is another bright spot. Despite high poverty, chronic absenteeism was 19.7% in 2023-24 — lower than the state average of 23.9% and far below the district average of 26.2%. Nearby Holly Springs Primary School, with similar poverty levels, had a chronic absenteeism rate of 35.3%.

Within Marshall County School District, Mary Reid has consistently outperformed Galena School, a comparable school just 15 miles away. In 2025-26, Mary Reid ranked 239th among Mississippi elementary schools, just ahead of Galena's 240th, and posted stronger 4th-grade results in both ELA (44.5% vs. 30.8%) and math (44.5% vs. 23.1%). However, larger gaps remain when compared to higher-resource schools like New Albany Elementary School, where only 65% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. In 2025-26, New Albany outperformed Mary Reid in every subject — for example, 60.7% of New Albany 4th graders were proficient in math, versus 44.5% at Mary Reid. The school's 4th-grade ELA results have been uneven, swinging from 26.4% proficiency in 2023-24 to 46.6% in 2024-25. Families should also note that the student-teacher ratio has risen from 11.6 to 15.3 over the past few years.
