Summary:
The 39563 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Moss Point Separate School District. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Moss Point High School standing out as the strongest performer, while the middle and elementary schools face significant academic challenges.
Moss Point High School ranks 116 out of 232 Mississippi high schools and has a 3-star rating, with a relatively high graduation rate of 89.4%. However, the middle and elementary schools, such as Magnolia Middle School and Moss Point Escatawpa Upper Elementary, consistently underperform compared to district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
A common challenge across all four schools is the high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the schools face alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to the academic struggles. While the overall performance is concerning, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly at Moss Point High School, with targeted interventions and support.
