Summary

Osyka Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the South Pike School District in Osyka, Mississippi, with a student enrollment of 181. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, currently holding a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 104 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools.

Osyka Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.0 to 10.1 over the past few years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. Despite having a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Osyka Elementary School has been able to achieve these impressive academic results.

When compared to nearby schools within the South Pike School District and the McComb School District, Osyka Elementary School consistently outperforms these schools in academic achievement. However, the school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.5% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Overall, Osyka Elementary School's strong academic performance, low student-teacher ratio, and ability to support economically disadvantaged students make it a standout school within its district and the state of Mississippi.
