Best Public Schools in zip code 39107, Mississippi

Summary:

Zip code 39107 is served by a single school, McAdams Attendance Center, a small rural secondary campus in Mc Adams, MS, that enrolls 167 students in grades 7 through 12 within Attala County Schools. The school serves an exceptionally high-poverty population, with 98.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet maintains a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 6.9. Although labeled a high school, its 7th–12th grade span makes it a combined middle and high school serving the entire community.

McAdams Attendance Center has shown a resilient pattern in state accountability ratings, bouncing from a 1-star rating at the 29th percentile in 2024-2025 back to a 3-star rating at the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, matching its 3-star performance from 2023-2024. The school's graduation rate of 90.3% is essentially tied with the district's 90.5% and slightly above the state's 89.2%. Academically, the school posts notable strengths in science, with 79.3% of 8th graders proficient in science versus 57.8% statewide, and strong Algebra I results at 68% proficiency compared to 66% statewide. However, English II proficiency lags at 40% versus 49.3% statewide, and 8th grade math proficiency sits at 41.3% compared to 51.4% statewide.

The most pressing concern for McAdams Attendance Center is chronic absenteeism, which reached 41.6% in 2023-2024, nearly double the state average of 23.9% and well above the district rate of 31.4%. This challenge coexists with the school's academic recovery, suggesting that when students are present, instruction can be effective, but attendance remains a barrier to even greater gains. The school's low student-teacher ratio provides structural capacity for improvement, and its strong performance in science and Algebra I indicates areas of instructional strength. For parents, the key takeaway is that McAdams Attendance Center offers a small, supportive environment with notable science and Algebra success, but the school must address absenteeism and literacy support to unlock its full potential.
