Best Public Schools in New Augusta, MS


Summary:

The city of New Augusta, Mississippi is home to two schools that are part of the Perry County School District, which is ranked 81 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools serve students from elementary through high school grades.

Based on the available data, neither Perry Central High School nor Perry Central Middle School appear to be standout performers. Both schools consistently score below the state average on standardized tests, with the largest gaps in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The schools also have very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The data also reveals a significant funding disparity between the high school and middle school, with the high school spending nearly twice as much per student as the middle school. This raises questions about the equity of resource allocation within the district. Overall, the consistently low performance and high poverty levels of these schools suggest that the Perry County School District may need to implement targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to support student success and improve academic outcomes.
