Summary:
The 39092 zip code area in Scott County, Mississippi is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Scott County School District. While the schools face significant challenges, including high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism, Lake Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state.
Lake Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages, indicating the school's effectiveness in supporting student learning. In contrast, the performance of Lake Middle School and Lake High School is more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, while others lag behind. The high chronic absenteeism rate across all three schools, which is significantly higher than the state average, may be a contributing factor to the varied academic performance, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
Despite the economic challenges faced by the community, as evidenced by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate across all three schools, the data suggests that the Scott County School District as a whole is performing below the state average in many areas. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach involving the school district, community stakeholders, and targeted interventions to support student learning and attendance.
