Summary:
The 39341 zip code area in Noxubee County, Mississippi is home to three public schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Noxubee County School District. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming, with low proficiency rates on state assessments and poor statewide rankings compared to other schools in Mississippi.
The Earl Nash Elementary School has particularly concerning test scores, with only 27.4% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 23.2% proficient in Math, well below the state averages. The B F Liddell Middle School and Noxubee County High School also struggle, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.7% to 50%, all below state benchmarks. These low test scores translate to very poor statewide rankings for all three schools.
Demographic factors likely contribute to the schools' challenges, as they serve predominantly African American student populations with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite relatively high spending per student and student-teacher ratios, the schools are still underperforming, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the low performance. Significant improvement will be necessary across the Noxubee County School District to provide students in the 39341 zip code area with the quality education they deserve.
