Summary

Martin Bluff is an elementary school located in Gautier, Mississippi, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 408 students. It is part of the Pascagoula-Gautier School District, which is ranked 44 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Martin Bluff has consistently performed above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3 and 4 over the past few years. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12% to 23.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Martin Bluff has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, Martin Bluff's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the Pascagoula-Gautier School District averages, but there are some notable exceptions. For instance, Beach Elementary School, which is ranked 4th out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools, significantly outperforms Martin Bluff and the district in both ELA and Math proficiency. Similarly, Lake Elementary School and Central Elementary School also outperform Martin Bluff in several grade-level test scores. The high chronic absenteeism rates, however, appear to be a broader challenge across the Pascagoula-Gautier School District.
