Summary:
The 39629 zip code area is home to two high-performing alternative schools, Bogue Chitto School and Enterprise School, both part of the Lincoln County School District. These schools have consistently outperformed district and state averages on key metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, and student-teacher ratios, despite serving a student population with high poverty levels.
Both Bogue Chitto School and Enterprise School achieved a 89.4% four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year, surpassing the state average. In many grade levels and subject areas, the schools also outperformed the district and state on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests, with standout results in Algebra I, English II, Science, and U.S. History. While the schools have a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, they are still able to deliver strong academic outcomes.
The data suggests that Bogue Chitto School and Enterprise School are providing a high-quality education that exceeds regional benchmarks. However, the 23.9% chronic absenteeism rate for both schools is an area that could be targeted for improvement. Overall, these alternative schools are effectively serving their students and communities, and their success could offer valuable insights for other schools facing similar challenges.
