Best Public Schools in Zip Code 38834

Summary:

The 38834 zip code area is home to 8 public schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, spread across the Corinth School District and the Alcorn School District. While the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, some standout institutions emerge in the data.

Kossuth Elementary School and Kossuth High School, part of the Alcorn district, consistently rank among the top schools in the state, with strong student performance on state assessments, particularly in math and English. In contrast, the Corinth Elementary School, Corinth Middle School, and Corinth High School, while still performing above the state average in some areas, lag behind their Alcorn counterparts.

The data also reveals potential funding disparities, with Biggersville High School spending nearly $8,000 more per student than Corinth Middle School. Additionally, the stark racial homogeneity of some schools, such as the predominantly white student populations at Kossuth Elementary and Kossuth High, raises questions about potential issues of racial segregation and equity within the education system in this area.
