Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39531


Summary:

The 39531 zip code area in Biloxi, Mississippi is home to two elementary schools - Popps Ferry Elementary School and Back Bay Elementary School. Based on the available data, Back Bay Elementary appears to be the standout school in the area, consistently outperforming Popps Ferry Elementary on key metrics such as state-wide ranking, SchoolDigger rating, and student academic achievement.

Back Bay Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, while Popps Ferry Elementary has a lower 2-star rating. Additionally, Back Bay Elementary students outperform the district and state averages on MAAP English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across multiple grade levels and years. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.6, compared to 13.6 at Popps Ferry Elementary, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

However, both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with both Popps Ferry Elementary and Back Bay Elementary reporting 23.9% chronic absenteeism for the 2022-2023 school year. This is an area of concern that the Biloxi Public School District, which oversees both schools, should address to improve student learning and academic outcomes.
