Summary

Biloxi Junior High is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Biloxi Public School District, with 880 students. This school has consistently ranked highly in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years, and is part of a district that is ranked 25th out of 130 districts in Mississippi with a 4-star rating.

Biloxi Junior High stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, 74.6% of 7th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 55.5% statewide. The school also has a lower rate of chronic absenteeism than the state average, suggesting it is doing a better job of keeping students engaged and attending school regularly. Additionally, despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with nearly 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Biloxi Junior High is able to achieve these exceptional results.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as Long Beach Middle School and Ocean Springs Middle School, which also rank highly in the state, Biloxi Junior High outperforms them on many key metrics, including test scores and chronic absenteeism. This consistent high performance over the past 10 years is a testament to the school's ability to effectively support and meet the needs of its students, even in the face of significant economic challenges.
