Summary

Redwood Elementary is a PK–6 school in Redwood, Mississippi, serving 367 students within the Vicksburg Warren School District, where every student currently qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks 188th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools—a step down from its 4-star status in prior years, when it ranked as high as 71st in the state.

Redwood's biggest academic strength is math. Across grades 3–6, 62% of students are proficient in math, well above the district average of 44.3% and the state average of 50.7%. Sixth-grade math is especially impressive: 77.1% proficiency, which tops even Bovina Elementary, a 5-star, top-10 school. Reading and science, however, lag behind. ELA proficiency sits at 42.9% (district: 47.5%; state: 51.2%), with 4th and 5th grades the weakest. Fifth-grade science fell to just 51.3%—roughly 20 points below the state average and the lowest among nearby schools.

The most urgent concern is attendance. In 2023–2024, 41.4% of Redwood students were chronically absent, compared with a 29.2% district average and 23.9% statewide. That rate is more than four times higher than Bowmar Avenue's 9.8% and Beechwood Elementary's 10.5%. The student–teacher ratio has also risen from 12.4:1 to 16.4:1 in two years. Redwood's math success shows real instructional strength, but reducing absenteeism and boosting literacy and science will be key to restoring its former rating.
