Summary:
The Kosciusko School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Kosciusko Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked between 92nd and 128th out of 243-264 middle schools in the state over the past three years.
Kosciusko Junior High School's student population is predominantly African American (57.6%), with a significant White population (34.6%) and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school has a very high percentage of students (99.4%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Academically, the school's students have demonstrated strong performance in Mathematics and Algebra I, with proficiency rates exceeding both the district and state averages. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, particularly for 8th grade, are lower than the district and state averages, suggesting an area for potential improvement.
Despite the school's consistent 3-star rating and ranking, the analysis suggests that Kosciusko Junior High School faces unique challenges due to the socioeconomic status of its student population. The school's strengths in Mathematics and Algebra I performance indicate effective teaching strategies in these subject areas, while the lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts present an opportunity for the school to focus on improving student outcomes in this area.
