Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39759

Summary:

The 39759 zip code area in Mississippi is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District. While the district as a whole is performing around the state average, a few standout schools in the area have consistently demonstrated strong academic performance.

Socsd/Msu Partnership Middle School and Armstrong Junior High School have both maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranked in the top 50% of Mississippi middle schools. These schools have particularly strong test scores in Algebra I and 8th grade science, outperforming the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Overstreet Elementary stands out for its above-average 5th grade test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

However, the data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% across all schools and the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.64% to 68.91%. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the standout schools' success could provide valuable insights for the district as it works to improve educational outcomes for all students in the 39759 zip code area.
