Summary:
The 39769 zip code is home to a single elementary school, West Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District. While West Elementary's performance on 5th grade Science tests exceeds both district and state averages, its results in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics are mixed compared to its peers.
West Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is lower than the state average, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 80.61% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% is also higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern. On the positive side, West Elementary's 5th grade students outperform the district and state in Science, with 75% proficient or better compared to 63.4% and 66.3%, respectively.
Overall, West Elementary School has some strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio and strong 5th grade Science performance, but also areas for improvement, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate may be contributing factors to its academic performance, and the school community may need to address these challenges to help students reach their full potential.
