Best High Schools in Zip Code 38917

Summary:

The 38917 zip code is home to a single high school, J Z George High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests it is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

J Z George High School had a 89.4% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year, which is a positive metric. However, the school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the same year, indicating attendance is an issue. The school's test scores, as measured by the MAAP assessments, are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, suggesting academic performance is an area for improvement. The Carroll County School District, which J Z George High School is a part of, is ranked 116 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The combination of low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and the school's declining state-wide ranking indicates that J Z George High School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed in the test scores. Improving the school's performance and outcomes for its students should be a priority for the district and community.
