Summary:
The 39180 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Warren Central Junior High School and Vicksburg Junior High School, both serving grades 7-8 and part of the Vicksburg Warren School District. While these schools share similarities, they exhibit distinct performance characteristics based on the available data.
Academically, Warren Central Junior High School outperforms Vicksburg Junior High School in proficiency rates across most subject areas and grade levels. However, both schools lag behind the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Warren Central Junior High School had 31.3% and 32.6% proficiency in 7th and 8th grade ELA, respectively, compared to the state average of 37.3% and 41.7%. Vicksburg Junior High School had even lower proficiency rates of 26.7% and 21.9% in 7th and 8th grade ELA.
Another area of concern is the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, with 23.9% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average, which is not provided in the data set. Additionally, both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The data suggests that targeted interventions and support are needed to address the performance gaps and high chronic absenteeism rates at these middle schools, taking into account the unique needs and circumstances of the student population.
