The Covington County School District in Mississippi is home to two high schools: Seminary High School and Collins High School. Both schools are underperforming compared to the state averages, with low rankings and proficiency rates in several subject areas.
Seminary High School has a more diverse student population, with 59.54% White, 31.19% African American, and 5.93% Hispanic students. It has higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History, but its English II proficiency rate is lower. In contrast, Collins High School has a majority African American student population (69.42%) and lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in most subjects.
Despite the higher per-student spending at Collins High School, it still underperforms compared to the state and district averages, suggesting that funding alone may not be the sole factor in determining academic success. The overall performance of the Covington County School District, as indicated by the 2-star rating, is below the state average, indicating a need for district-level interventions and support to improve the quality of education across all schools in the district.
