Middle Schools in Harrison County School District


Summary:

The Harrison County School District in Mississippi is home to three middle schools that serve students in grades 6-8. These schools, West Harrison Middle School, Diberville Middle School, and Orange Grove Elementary, have demonstrated varying levels of academic performance and serve diverse student populations.

Among the standout schools in the district, West Harrison Middle School and Diberville Middle School have consistently outperformed the state and district averages on standardized tests, ranking among the top middle schools in Mississippi. These high-performing schools boast 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and have student-teacher ratios that may contribute to their academic success.

In contrast, while Orange Grove Elementary may not be ranked statewide, it still demonstrates strong performance, particularly in 5th-grade Science. However, the district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools reporting high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families. Addressing these challenges and identifying opportunities for improvement at schools like Orange Grove Elementary could help ensure that all students in the Harrison County School District have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
