Summary:
The 38680 zip code area has only one school, Walls Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 725 students. The school is part of the Desoto County School District, which is ranked 34 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 4-star rating.
While Walls Elementary School is part of a relatively high-performing school district, the school's own performance metrics are below the district and state averages in several key areas. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools in the last three school years, with a 1-star and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in MAAP tests are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%.
The data suggests that Walls Elementary School is struggling to provide the same level of educational quality and outcomes as its peers in the region. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that it serves a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic underperformance and require targeted interventions and support to help students overcome potential barriers to learning.
