Summary:

The 39459 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Moselle Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Jones County School District. Moselle Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science proficiency rates, despite having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Moselle Elementary's strong academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with proficiency rates ranging from 34.4% in 6th grade ELA to 84% in 3rd grade mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1 may contribute to its success, as smaller class sizes can allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% is a concern and an area for potential improvement.

Overall, Moselle Elementary School appears to be a standout educational institution in the 39459 zip code, offering a high-quality learning environment and strong academic outcomes for its students. As the only school in the area, it serves as a valuable resource for families seeking a quality education for their children.
