Mississippi East Central School Grades Released: 31 Districts statewide Earn an A, Enterprise District Tops the Area with 761 Points
Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi — Mississippi school grades for East Central Mississippi were summarized on November 12 from the state Department of Education's revised list dated November 5: statewide, 31 districts earned an A and three districts earned an F, none of them in the local area.
The Lauderdale County School District earned an A, with seven of its 11 schools earning an A. In Clarke County, the Enterprise School District earned an A with a score of 761 points, the highest in the area. The Neshoba County School District earned an A with a graduation rate of 96.8 percent, the Philadelphia Public School District earned a B with a graduation rate of 92.7 percent, and the Meridian Public School District earned a D with a graduation rate of 80.6 percent.
The grades are based on test scores, student growth, graduation rates and how many students take state tests, with the state expecting at least 95 percent of students to test, a goal every district in the area met. The state said this year sets a new starting point under tougher standards required by state law, so the grades should not be compared to past years.
On attendance, about 26.5 percent of Mississippi students were chronically absent, down from 27.6 percent the year before, with 115,385 students missing too much school, and East Jasper had the lowest rate in the state at 11.2 percent.
