Summary

Summit Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-6 in the McComb School District in Summit, Mississippi. The school has 316 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.9. It is ranked 279 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lower-performing schools in the state.

Summit Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance on MAAP tests, and a ranking in the bottom third of Mississippi elementary schools. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.4% statewide. The school's math performance is also below average, with only 49% of 4th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 56.6% statewide. When compared to nearby schools in the McComb School District, such as Otken Elementary and Kennedy Elementary, the performance metrics are relatively similar, suggesting systemic issues within the district.

In contrast, when comparing Summit Elementary to schools in the neighboring South Pike School District, such as Osyka Elementary, the performance gap becomes more apparent. Osyka Elementary consistently outperforms Summit Elementary and the state averages in both ELA and math, with over 60% of students proficient or better in many grade levels. This highlights the potential for improvement at Summit Elementary if the right strategies and resources are implemented. However, the school's performance has generally declined or remained stagnant over the past several years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive school improvement plan.
