Summary:
The 39648 zip code area in McComb, Mississippi is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the McComb School District. Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools is consistently below the state average, with low test scores, graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism rates across the board.
None of the schools in the 39648 zip code area stand out as high-performing. McComb High School had a 36.3% proficiency rate in MAAP/Algebra I, compared to the state average of 67.3%, and the elementary and middle schools also lag behind state averages in various subjects and grade levels. The four-year graduation rate at McComb High School is 89.4%, slightly below the state average, and all the schools in the area have a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, significantly higher than the state average.
The data suggests that the schools in the 39648 zip code area face significant challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, this advantage does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, long-term approach that addresses the root causes of the educational disparities in this region.
