Summary:
The Coahoma County School District in Mississippi is home to a single high school, Coahoma County Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and underperforming on state assessments compared to the state average.
Coahoma County Junior/Senior High School's student population is highly homogeneous, with 94.96% of students being African American and 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance remains poor, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average in subjects like 7th grade ELA, 8th grade ELA, and Algebra I.
The persistent academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges faced by Coahoma County Junior/Senior High School suggest that the school and the broader Coahoma County School District may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and instructional practices to better address the unique needs of their student population and improve educational outcomes.
