EAST KEMPER ATTENDANCE CENTER

EAST KEMPER ATTENDANCE CENTER is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Kemper County School District school district, located in Scooba, MS with about 185 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, EAST KEMPER ATTENDANCE CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EAST KEMPER ATTENDANCE CENTER, located in Scooba, Mississippi, serves as a primary educational facility within the Kemper County School District. As an "attendance center," the school is designed to consolidate educational services for students in the surrounding rural area, catering to a diverse student body across various grade levels. The school functions as a focal point for the local community, emphasizing foundational academics, social development, and the preparation of students for their transition to higher secondary levels or vocational paths.

The school’s environment is typical of smaller, district-managed facilities in Mississippi, where the curriculum is aligned with state educational standards while focusing on the specific needs of the local student population. By providing a structured learning atmosphere on Binnsville Road, EAST KEMPER ATTENDANCE CENTER aims to foster academic growth and community engagement. While the school plays a critical role in the district’s efforts to improve student outcomes, it operates as part of the broader mission of the Kemper County School District to provide equitable educational access and resources to children throughout the region.
