Summary

Roseland Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Picayune, Mississippi, serving 368 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Picayune School District, which is ranked 61 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

One key concern at Roseland Park Elementary is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 31.4% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state and district averages, indicating a potential issue with student attendance. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate is 29.8%, compared to the district's 44.3% and the state's 49.4%. Similarly, the 6th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate is 28%, compared to the district's 43.3% and the state's 52.9%. The school also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, suggesting a high percentage of students from low-income families.

When comparing Roseland Park Elementary to other nearby schools in the Picayune School District, it generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. For instance, South Side Elementary School, located just 2 miles away, consistently outperforms Roseland Park on both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. The data suggests that Roseland Park Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the issues of chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, potentially through strategies such as improving attendance policies, providing additional academic support, and addressing the unique needs of the school's low-income student population.
