Summary:
The 39183 zip code area is home to three elementary schools: Sherman Ave Elementary, Bovina Elementary School, and Warren Central Intermediate, all part of the Vicksburg Warren School District. While the schools share similar challenges, such as high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism, their academic performance varies significantly.
Among the three, Bovina Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 16 elementary schools in Mississippi and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Sherman Ave Elementary and Warren Central Intermediate have lower statewide rankings and 1-star or 2-star ratings, with their students lagging behind in MAAP proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas.
Despite the economic challenges faced by the community, as evidenced by the 100% free/reduced lunch rate across all three schools, Bovina Elementary School has managed to provide a quality education to its students. The high chronic absenteeism rate, which is a concern across the schools, may be a contributing factor to the struggles faced by Sherman Ave Elementary and Warren Central Intermediate. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the unique needs of this community and improve the educational outcomes for all students in the 39183 zip code area.
