Summary:
The 38761 zip code area in Mississippi is home to two elementary schools - Moorhead Central School and Rosser Early Learning Center, both serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals that these schools face significant academic challenges, with low performance metrics and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Neither school stands out as a high-performing institution, with both ranking in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are well below state and district averages across multiple grade levels. The one exception is Moorhead Central School's Algebra I proficiency rate, which is higher than the district and state averages, though this may be due to a small sample size. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, particularly at Moorhead Central School, which has a concerning rate of 23.9% for the 2022-2023 school year, far exceeding the state average. While Moorhead Central School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, which could be an advantage, the data does not indicate whether this is being effectively utilized to provide more personalized instruction and support for students.
