Summary:
ZIP code 39346, covering the Noxapater area of Mississippi, is home to exactly one school: Noxapater Attendance, a K-12 Alternative school enrolling 473 students in the Louisville Municipal School District. Because this is the only school in the ZIP code, the most useful comparisons are against the surrounding district and Mississippi state averages. The student body carries significant economic need, with 68.92% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 17.4.
The school's clearest strength emerged in 5th grade during the 2025-2026 school year, where it outperformed both the district and the state in every subject: 67.9% proficient in ELA versus 55.8% statewide, 64.3% in math versus 49.6% statewide, and 78.6% in science versus 71.5% statewide. Noxapater Attendance also beat its district in every tested ELA grade from 3rd through 8th, and in every math grade except 7th. Chronic absenteeism was 21.6%, below the district's 24.8% and the state's 23.9%, a positive sign for a high-poverty school.
However, significant challenges remain. Middle school reading is the weakest area, with just 27.3% of 7th graders and 33.4% of 8th graders proficient in ELA, well below state averages. The graduation rate of 86.4% trails both the district (94.4%) and state (89.2%). Test scores also swung dramatically from year to year, such as 5th grade math jumping from 37.0% to 64.3% while 3rd grade ELA fell from 62.7% to 41.0%, suggesting small cohorts have an outsized impact. Overall, Noxapater Attendance is a district-relative success with clear pockets of excellence, but it lags Mississippi averages in several key areas.
