Best Public Schools in Caledonia, MS

Summary:

While Caledonia High School and Caledonia Middle School also perform well, earning 4-5 star ratings and exceeding district and state averages, they do not quite reach the same level of excellence as the elementary school. All three Caledonia schools, however, face the challenge of serving student populations with extremely high rates of economic disadvantage, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 99.4% to 99.72%.
