Summary

Sebastopol Attendance Center is a PK–12 school serving 684 students in the small town of Sebastopol, Mississippi, and is part of the Scott County School District. This campus stands out for its remarkable academic results despite serving an extremely high-poverty population, with nearly all students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. The school posted a perfect 100% graduation rate in 2024-2025, far above the district's 82.4% and the state's 89.2%, showing that students here persist to completion at an exceptional level.

When compared to its closest neighbor, Scott Central Attendance Center, which serves a virtually identical student body, Sebastopol shows strong advantages in the elementary and middle grades. In 2025-2026, 4th grade math proficiency hit 90.9% at Sebastopol versus just 22.3% at Scott Central, and 5th grade science reached 87.0% compared to 67.8%. Third grade ELA also led by a wide margin (66.0% vs. 19.5%). These impressive scores suggest effective early-grade teaching and targeted support. However, the trend reverses sharply at 8th grade, where Sebastopol's proficiency rates fall well below Scott Central's—for example, only 18.9% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA, versus 30.9% at the neighboring school. This sudden drop may point to a challenging transition year or a specific cohort issue worth watching.

Despite its many successes, Sebastopol faces two notable challenges. Chronic absenteeism has more than doubled since 2018-2019, reaching 35.1% in 2023-2024—well above the state average of 23.9%. Additionally, high school English II scores have consistently lagged, staying below the state average in each of the past three years, even as Algebra I and Biology have become clear strengths. If the school can address the 8th grade dip, improve attendance, and boost English II proficiency, it has the potential to be one of the strongest PK–12 schools in the region. For parents, this is a school with real bright spots in academics and graduation rates, but also with specific areas that need attention.
