Summary

Linwood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Vaughan, Mississippi, with an enrollment of 162 students. The school is part of the Yazoo County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linwood Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 33.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Bentonia Gibbs School (23.9%). The school's test scores on the MAAP exams are also consistently lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025 projected scores, Linwood Elementary's 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 22.6% compared to the state average of 49.4%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency is 24% compared to the state average of 48.3%. Additionally, Linwood Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, higher than the nearby schools in the Madison County School District, which have free/reduced lunch rates around 12-13%.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Linwood Elementary and the nearby high-performing schools in the Madison County School District, such as Mannsdale Upper Elementary and Mannsdale Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 10-12 elementary schools in the state and have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing the challenges at Linwood Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach involving targeted interventions, increased support services, and potential district-level reforms to improve educational outcomes for the students.
