Summary:
The 38704 zip code in Mississippi is home to a single school, O'Bannon Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally lags behind the Western Line School District and the state of Mississippi in terms of academic proficiency.
O'Bannon Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 176th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 223rd out of 390 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests varies across grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 30.8% in 4th grade math to 59.2% in 5th grade science. While the school's 5th grade science proficiency exceeds the district and state averages, its performance in other areas, such as 4th grade math, is notably lower.
The school faces some significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year and a student population that is entirely eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student body. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 in the 2023-2024 school year suggests that it may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to its students. Overall, the analysis of O'Bannon Elementary School highlights the need for continued efforts to address the school's performance and attendance issues, as well as the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes.
