Summary:
The 38659 zip code area in Mississippi is home to two schools - Potts Camp High School (5-12) and Mary Reid School (K-4). Both schools are part of the Marshall County School District, which is ranked 89 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Potts Camp High School stands out as the only high school in the zip code, serving grades 5-12 with a relatively large enrollment of 358 students. While the school has a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate of 89.4%, its test scores are generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. Mary Reid School, the sole elementary school serving grades K-4 with 247 students, also has mixed test scores, with some areas above the district average but below the state average.
Both schools face significant challenges, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, at 23.9%, which may be contributing to their academic struggles. The low student-teacher ratios, 10:1 at Potts Camp High School and 12.3:1 at Mary Reid School, suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in this community.
