Alcorn School District

The Alcorn School District in Mississippi operates 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district serves a student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools, ranging from 98.81% to 99.47%.

Despite these challenges, several schools in the district stand out for their consistent academic excellence. Kossuth Elementary School and Kossuth High School are both ranked among the top schools in Mississippi, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools outperform the district and state averages in key subject areas, demonstrating a focus on academic achievement. Similarly, Alcorn Central Middle School is also a high-performing school, ranking among the top middle schools in the state.

While the Alcorn School District as a whole generally outperforms the state in academic proficiency, there is some variation in performance across the schools. Some schools, such as Biggersville High School, underperform the district and state averages in certain subject areas. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by these schools and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
