Summary:

The 39567 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Pascagoula-Gautier School District. The district as a whole is ranked 44 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The standout school in this set is Beach Elementary School, which has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, ranking 4th out of 383 schools in 2024-2025 and 1st out of 390 schools in 2023-2024, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Beach Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Another high-performing school is Lake Elementary, which has ranked in the top 25% of Mississippi elementary schools for the past 3 years and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the high performance of Beach Elementary is noteworthy, the uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% across all schools in the data set is concerning and likely has a negative impact on student learning and achievement. Additionally, the 100% free/reduced lunch rate across all schools highlights the high poverty levels in the community served by these schools, which presents significant challenges. The district should focus on addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and ensuring more equitable distribution of resources to support student success across all schools.
