Summary:
The 38655 zip code area is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools, a mix of public schools from the Lafayette County School District and the Oxford School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and are generally outperforming state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Two schools stand out as top performers in the region: Central Elementary, which ranks 38th out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools and receives a 5-star rating, and Della Davidson Elementary, which ranks 44th out of 381 and receives a 4-star rating. Both schools have impressive test scores, with Central Elementary seeing 65.9% of 4th graders and 71.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 75.8% of 4th graders and 71.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics.
While the schools in the 38655 zip code area generally outperform state averages, there are some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which are above the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 44.31% at Central Elementary to 51.67% at Lafayette Elementary. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to ensure the academic success of all students in the region.
