Beach Elementary School

Beach Elementary School serves 105 students in kindergarten through fourth grade in Pascagoula, Mississippi. With a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 and an Exceptional rating, it ranks 4th among 862 public schools statewide — a position that places it ahead of every other school in Mississippi by percentile. Among elementary schools specifically, it holds the same #4 spot out of 436, confirming the performance isn't an artifact of grade-band comparisons.

Academic achievement drives the score: a 9.5 academic rating signals that students here are mastering grade-level content at a rate that few schools match. The 9.1 growth score adds another layer — students don't just test well, they make measurable progress year over year. A 15:1 student-teacher ratio across the school's 105 enrolled students keeps class sizes manageable and likely contributes to both outcomes.

In Pascagoula, Beach Elementary stands alone at #1 of 11 public schools — a meaningful distinction for a city where families have real choices. For parents evaluating elementary options in the area, the data points in one direction: this is the top-performing elementary school in the city and one of the four strongest in the entire state.

With an enrollment of 105 students, Beach Elementary School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
