Summary:
The 39071 zip code in Mississippi is home to a single elementary school, East Flora Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 233 students. The school is part of the Madison County School District, a highly-ranked district in the state, but East Flora Elementary's own performance metrics are mixed compared to district and state averages.
While East Flora Elementary's 5th grade proficiency rates in ELA and Science are stronger, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by MAAP test scores, lags behind the Madison County School District and Mississippi state averages, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85.41% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning. However, the inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at East Flora Elementary.
