Summary:
The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi is home to two high-performing high schools: Pascagoula High School and Gautier High School. Both schools have demonstrated consistently strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates on state assessments and high rankings within the state.
Pascagoula High School has a more diverse student population, with 47.77% African American, 19.46% Hispanic, and 28.31% White students, while Gautier High School has a slightly less diverse student population, with 43.95% African American, 18.09% Hispanic, and 32.19% White students. Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the district is allocating resources effectively, with Pascagoula High School spending $12,240 per student and Gautier High School spending $12,313 per student, and both schools having relatively low student-teacher ratios.
The strong performance of both schools within the same district presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to further improve student outcomes across the district. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District is clearly committed to providing quality education, as evidenced by the academic achievements and resource allocation of its two high schools.
