Summary:
The Hinds County School District in Mississippi operates 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population.
Among the standout schools, Byram Middle School has the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I, while Utica Elementary / Middle School excels in mathematics across the elementary and middle school grades. Gary Road Intermediate School stands out for its relatively strong performance in English Language Arts. However, the district as a whole struggles with significant gaps in performance, particularly in mathematics, when compared to state averages.
The data also reveals variations in high school performance, with Raymond High School outperforming Terry High School on most metrics. Additionally, the lower-performing schools, such as Bolton-Edwards Elementary/Middle and Utica Elementary / Middle School, face significant challenges in improving student outcomes, which may be exacerbated by the district's high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population.
