Summary:

The 39563 zip code area is home to two struggling elementary schools - Moss Point Kreole Primary School and Moss Point Escatawpa Upper Elementary. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Mississippi elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Moss Point Kreole Primary School has been one of the lowest-performing schools in the state, ranking 394 out of 394 schools in 2007-2008. Similarly, Moss Point Escatawpa Upper Elementary has struggled, ranking 348 out of 377 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state average, with less than 35% of students meeting proficiency in some subjects.

The challenges faced by these schools are likely exacerbated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which stands at 100% for both schools. Additionally, the schools have relatively high student-teacher ratios, further contributing to the difficulties in providing targeted support and interventions. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including additional resources and support from the Moss Point Separate School District, which is ranked 90 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and has a 2-star rating.
