Summary:
The 39211 zip code area of Jackson, Mississippi is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. These schools are part of the Jackson Public School District, except for Revive, a public charter school, and the Mississippi Schools for the Deaf and the Blind.
Casey Elementary School stands out as a top-performing school in the area, consistently earning 4- and 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, the two alternative schools, Mississippi School for the Deaf and Mississippi School for the Blind, have very low proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels.
The schools in the 39211 zip code face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 24.9% and extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with most schools at 100%. While the alternative schools have lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their higher graduation rates, the stark contrast in academic performance highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the area have access to a high-quality education.
