Chickasaw County School District

Summary:

The Chickasaw County School District in Mississippi operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.

Houston High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 96th out of 228 Mississippi high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several End-of-Course test subjects, including Algebra I, English II, and U.S. History. However, it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14.8. In contrast, Houlka Attendance Center, the district's alternative school, performs well above the district and state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Mathematics, but struggles in Algebra I and English II, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district at 11.4.

Across the district, all schools have a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.11% to 99.4%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The racial makeup of the schools is diverse, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. The Chickasaw County School District as a whole is ranked 53rd out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
