Mississippi grades every school and district from A to F. For elementary and middle schools the state counts test scores in English, math and science, how much students improve from one year to the next, with extra weight on the lowest-performing 25% of students, and English learners’ progress, according to its guide to the system (PDF). Because the writing part of the English test was field tested in 2026, the state calculated this year’s grades from the higher of the 2025-26 or 2024-25 English results. The state says 2025-26 grades set a new baseline that “cannot be compared to grades for previous school years.”
Attendance zone
The county district runs one school for each grade band, so every district student in third through sixth grade is assigned to Lafayette Upper Elementary. Students arrive from Lafayette Elementary and move on to Lafayette Middle (grades 7 and 8) and Lafayette High.
The district’s boundaries map (PDF) shades the Oxford School District area apart from the five county school board districts.
