Summary:
The 39095 zip code area in Holmes County, Mississippi is home to 3 public schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Holmes County Consolidated School District. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores and school rankings.
None of the 3 schools - Holmes County Central High School, William Dean Junior Elementary School, and S V Marshall Middle School - appear to be standout performers. All three schools rank in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state, with test scores that fall well below state averages in subjects like English, math, and science. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranges from just 10.5% to 36.8% at these schools, compared to the state average of 39.7% to 57.7%.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors likely play a significant role in the schools' persistent underperformance. All three schools serve student populations that are predominantly African American, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The schools also have relatively low spending per student and high student-teacher ratios, suggesting a lack of adequate resources to support student needs. Addressing the challenges facing these schools will require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors in the community.
