Amory School District

The Amory School District in Mississippi serves a diverse student population across 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant economic challenges, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but some schools stand out for their strong academic performance.

East Amory School is the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 25% of elementary schools in Mississippi and earning a 4-star rating. Its students excel in English Language Arts and Mathematics, performing well above the state average. In contrast, while Amory Middle School also ranks in the top 25% of middle schools and performs strongly in Mathematics and Science, its English Language Arts proficiency rates are lower than the state average, particularly in 8th grade.

Across the district, the schools serve a highly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 99.09% to 99.34%. This economic challenge is reflected in the variation in spending per student, which ranges from $7,424 at Amory Middle School to around $9,600 at Amory High School and West Amory School. Despite these disparities, the district maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the academic success of its top-performing schools.
