High Schools in Kosciusko School District

Kosciusko School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Kosciusko Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 604 students, with a diverse student body that is 59.27% African American, 34.27% White, and smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students. Academically, Kosciusko Senior High School has shown mixed performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are sometimes above the district and state averages, such as in Algebra I and U.S. History, but below average in subjects like English II and Biology.

In recent years, Kosciusko Senior High School has consistently ranked in the middle of Mississippi high schools, placing between 132 and 149 out of 226-228 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in its overall performance and quality. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as 99.5% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population. The school's per-student spending of $8,440 is in line with the state average, but the impact of these resources on student learning and achievement is unclear.

Overall, Kosciusko School District has a single high school that faces challenges in academic performance, school ranking, and serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. While the school has some areas of strength, such as in Algebra I and U.S. History, it will need to continue working to improve student outcomes and overall school quality to better serve the community.
