Summary:
The city of Foxworth, Mississippi is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: West Marion High School, West Marion Primary School, and West Marion Elementary. These schools operate within the Marion County School District and serve a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, West Marion Primary School outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, with an impressive 78.6% of students proficient or better in 3rd grade Math. Meanwhile, West Marion High School performs above the district and state averages in several end-of-course assessments, including Algebra I and U.S. History, and has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in 7th and 8th grade Math compared to the district and state.
Despite the economic challenges faced by the community, as evidenced by the 100% free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, the data suggests that the schools in Foxworth are making strides in certain academic areas, particularly in Mathematics. However, the district as a whole struggles with English Language Arts proficiency, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also contribute to the varying academic performance, providing potential areas for further investigation and improvement.
