Summary:
The Alcorn School District in Mississippi is home to three high schools: Kossuth High School, Alcorn Central High School, and Biggersville High School. While Alcorn School District serves a predominantly low-income student population, Kossuth High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Mississippi and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.
In contrast, Biggersville High School appears to be the weakest performer in the district, with declining statewide rankings and lower test scores compared to the other schools. The racial composition of the schools also varies significantly, with Kossuth High School having a student population that is 97.54% White, while Biggersville High School has a more diverse student body.
The data also reveals significant disparities in spending per student, with Biggersville High School receiving the highest funding at $14,891 per student, compared to $10,004 for Kossuth High School and $10,750 for Alcorn Central High School. These findings suggest the need for the Alcorn School District to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance gaps and implement strategies to ensure more equitable access to quality education for all students.
