Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 38619 zip code - North Panola Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the North Panola School District and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi middle schools over the past several years.
North Panola Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores that are dramatically below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.6% of 6th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 46.7%. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which can further hinder student learning and progress.
Additionally, North Panola Middle School serves a student population that is facing significant economic challenges, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor, the combination of low academic performance, high poverty levels, and high absenteeism rates suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting instruction, attendance, and support for the school's high-poverty student population.
