The Learning Center stands out instead for attendance: chronic absenteeism was 16%, compared with 24% statewide and 16% in the Harrison County district. Its school-level test results are suppressed, so its test performance cannot be ranked against the main high school. Completion measures at the main high school were relatively strong: graduation was 96%, above the state’s 94% and just below the district’s 97%.
