Neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are consistently below the state average on key academic measures like ELA, Math, and Science proficiency. Quitman County Middle School has been ranked between 154th and 210th out of 243-264 middle schools in Mississippi over the past three years, with a 1-2 star rating. M.S. Palmer High School has been ranked between 131st and 175th out of 226-228 high schools, also with a 1-2 star rating. The schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with over 96% of students identifying as such, and 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the academic performance at these schools remains a concern. Proficiency rates in core subjects like ELA, Math, and Science lag significantly behind state averages, indicating a need for improvement in student learning outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by these schools, which likely include socioeconomic factors, will be crucial to enhancing the educational opportunities for students in the Marks, Mississippi community.
