Summary:
The 39339 zip code in Mississippi is home to a single middle school, Eiland Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As part of the Louisville Municipal School District, Eiland Middle School has faced significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance compared to state and district averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels.
Eiland Middle School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 177 out of 243 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 193 out of 266 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance is particularly concerning, with only 26.6% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, the school has a high rate of chronic absenteeism, with 23.9% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which could be a positive factor. However, this does not seem to be translating into improved student outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that the school may be serving a disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the academic challenges it faces.
