Summary:
The Moss Point Separate School District in Mississippi consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly African American student population facing significant economic challenges.
Among the standout schools, Moss Point High School performs above the state average in several end-of-course exams, with a relatively high percentage of students proficient in Algebra I and Biology. However, Magnolia Middle School struggles with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, ranking in the bottom half of Mississippi middle schools. Across the district, all schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the Moss Point Separate School District and the state averages on standardized tests, as well as a concerning trend of declining statewide rankings for the district's schools in recent years. While these challenges are substantial, the data also suggests that with targeted interventions and support, the district may be able to improve student outcomes and climb the statewide rankings.
