Summary:

The 39154 zip code area in Mississippi is home to 3 schools, including 1 high school, 1 elementary/middle school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly low-income community, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 62.39% to 86.36%.

Raymond High School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, ranking 141 out of 232 Mississippi high schools and boasting a 4-year graduation rate of 89.4%. However, the school also faces challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%. Raymond Elementary/Carver Middle School also performs well, ranking 167 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools, with strong 5th-grade science scores, but similarly struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate.

In contrast, Williams School, an alternative public magnet school serving grades 4-12, stands out with significantly lower test scores compared to the state and district averages, with 0% proficiency in many subject areas. This highlights the need for targeted support and resources for alternative schools serving vulnerable student populations within the Hinds County School District and the MDHS Division Of Youth Services.
