Standing Pine Elementary School is an active public school district situated at 538 Highway 487 East in Carthage, Mississippi. Set within a rural remote environment, this single-school district serves a vital role in providing early childhood and elementary education for students from Kindergarten through 6th grade.

The school’s dedicated scope allows it to deliver a culturally connected and structured environment specifically tailored to the foundational years of childhood development.
