Summary:
The 38774 zip code area has only one high school, Northside High School, which is part of the North Bolivar Cons School District. The district is ranked 83 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 2-star rating. Northside High School serves grades 7-12 and has an enrollment of 365 students.
Northside High School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state averages across most subject areas and grade levels, with only 21% of 7th graders and 12% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 24.6% of 7th graders and 19.7% of 8th graders proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also high at 23.9%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, 100% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
Despite these challenges, Northside High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 89.4% and a small student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention to students. However, the school's academic outcomes suggest that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student learning and achievement.
