Smith County School District


Summary:

The Smith County School District in Mississippi operates four schools, including one elementary school, one high school, and two alternative schools. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high free and reduced lunch rates across all schools.

Raleigh Elementary School and Raleigh High School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and other subject areas. Raleigh Elementary is ranked in the top third of Mississippi elementary schools, while Raleigh High School is ranked 59 out of 228 Mississippi high schools.

In contrast, the alternative schools, Mize Attendance Center and Taylorsville Attendance Center, have significantly lower test scores compared to the traditional schools, despite having similar or higher per-student spending. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools varies, with Taylorsville Attendance Center having a majority African American student population, which could be an area for further investigation and potential targeted interventions.
