Summary:
The 39645 zip code area in Mississippi is home to three public schools - Amite County Elementary, Amite County High School, and Amite County Middle School - all of which are part of the Amite County School District. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
None of the three schools in the 39645 zip code area stand out as high-performing. All three are ranked well below the state average, with Amite County Elementary ranked 177-235 out of 383-390 Mississippi elementary schools, Amite County High School ranked 148-209 out of 226-232 Mississippi high schools, and Amite County Middle School ranked 125-188 out of 264-266 Mississippi middle schools. Additionally, the schools have low 2-3 star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.
The data reveals several concerning trends across the schools, including significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%. Furthermore, all three schools have a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, suggesting a high-poverty student population that may face additional challenges. While the relatively low student-teacher ratios could be a positive, they may also indicate resource constraints within the district that could be impacting the quality of education.
