Summary

Earl Nash Elementary School is a public elementary school in Macon, Mississippi, serving 638 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Noxubee County School District. Based on the data, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools over the past several years.

One key issue at Earl Nash Elementary School is high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.7% to 28.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAAP test proficiency rates, is also consistently well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are all below 35.9%, while the state averages range from 48.3% to 66.3%. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating its student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby Kemper County Lower Elementary School, located approximately 19.56 miles away, appears to have significantly better academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd grade that are 50 percentage points or more higher than Earl Nash Elementary School. This suggests the challenges faced by Earl Nash Elementary School may be unique to the school or the district, rather than being a broader regional issue. Addressing these persistent challenges will likely require a comprehensive and sustained approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
