Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 39202

Summary:

The 39202 zip code area of Mississippi is home to two middle schools: Midtown Public Charter School and Bailey Middle Apac School. While both schools serve high-poverty student populations, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, their academic performance and rankings vary significantly.

Bailey Middle Apac School stands out as a high-performing middle school, ranking 22nd out of 266 Mississippi middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the state and Jackson Public School District averages, with over 60% of students scoring proficient or better in these subjects. Additionally, the school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate was an impressive 90% in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district and state averages.

In contrast, Midtown Public Charter School appears to be a lower-performing middle school, ranking 226th out of 266 Mississippi middle schools in 2024-2025 and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools, however, share a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which is higher than the state average. The stark performance gap between the two schools suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, play a crucial role in student outcomes.
