Pass Christian Middle is a public middle school serving 391 students in grades 6-8 in the Pass Christian Public School District, which is ranked 5 out of 130 districts in Mississippi and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Pass Christian Middle consistently performs above the state average in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are 50%, 66.9%, and 74% respectively, compared to the state averages of 46.7%, 52.9%, and 54.7%. The school has been ranked among the top middle schools in Mississippi over the past several years, ranging from 10th to 44th out of over 250 schools, indicating its strong academic performance compared to its peers.

However, Pass Christian Middle has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.6% in 2020-2021 to 23.9% in 2022-2023, an area the school and district should focus on to improve student attendance and engagement. Despite this, the school serves a relatively high-need student population, with 64.45% to 99.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, yet it is still able to achieve strong academic results, a testament to the quality of the educational program and the dedication of the school's staff.
