Summary:
ZIP code 39180 in Vicksburg, Mississippi is home to six elementary schools — all part of the Vicksburg Warren School District — serving roughly 2,300 students across PK–6 grade spans, with nearly every student qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
For parents, the standout option is Bowmar Avenue, which ranks in the 68th percentile statewide and tops the group in both ELA (62.4% proficient) and 5th-grade science (75%), while posting the lowest chronic absenteeism at just 9.8%. Beechwood Elementary is the largest school (550 students) and a solid second choice, ranking in the 56th percentile with strong ELA results, though its math proficiency drops sharply in grades 5 and 6. At the other end, South Park Elementary is the biggest concern — only 14% of its 3rd graders and 18% of its 4th graders are proficient in math, leaving the school in the 14th percentile statewide. Warrenton Elementary made the largest jump in rank (34th to 47th percentile) and shows strong 3rd-grade math and science. Vicksburg Intermediate and Dana Road Elementary fall in the middle, with Dana Road serving only PK–2 and having limited test data.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism averages a remarkably low ~15.8% compared to the district's 29.2% and the state's 23.9%. Math remains the consistent weak spot in upper grades, while 5th-grade science is a hidden strength — even South Park reaches 59.6% proficiency. Bottom line: Bowmar and Beechwood are the strongest, most reliable elementary options in 39180, and families in the area should weigh school zones carefully given the wide performance spread within the same district.
