Summary:
The 38611 zip code area in Mississippi is home to three schools - Byhalia Elementary School (K-4), Byhalia High School (9-12), and Byhalia Middle School (5-8) - all of which are part of the Marshall County School District. The data reveals a concerning trend of consistently low-performing schools in this area, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.
Among the standout schools, Byhalia High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.4% and better-than-average performance on some end-of-course exams. In contrast, Byhalia Middle School and Byhalia Elementary School have consistently struggled, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, often lagging behind district and state averages. Additionally, all three schools have alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average.
The data also reveals that the student population in this area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high-poverty environment may be contributing to the schools' academic struggles and the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes in the 38611 zip code area.
