Summary:

Biloxi, Mississippi is served by 13 public schools—including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools—that educate roughly 10,094 students across three districts: the Biloxi Public School District, the Harrison County School District, and the Jackson County School District. Schools range in size from Nichols Elementary School with just 203 students to Biloxi High School with 1,669. The area is home to several elite performers: North Woolmarket Elementary and Middle School ranks #4 in Mississippi, D'Iberville High ranks #10, Biloxi High School ranks #17, and Biloxi Junior High School ranks #25 among middle schools.

Parents will find a wide gap between the city's best and most challenged schools. North Woolmarket Elementary and Middle School is the clear academic leader, posting 97.8% proficiency in 5th-grade science and 89.1% in 3rd-grade math—both far above state averages. D'Iberville High has the highest high school ranking in the area with 92.3% Algebra I proficiency, while Biloxi High School posts the best graduation rate at 91.4%, above the state's 89.2%. North Bay Elementary School is a model of consistency, ranking in the top 35 for three straight years with a low 13.0% chronic absenteeism rate. Biloxi Junior High School excels in math, with 74.2% of 7th graders proficient compared to 57.7% statewide.

Challenges do remain. Gorenflo Elementary School and Popp's Ferry Elementary School struggle academically and carry the highest poverty rates in the city at 94.8% and 71.6% free/reduced lunch respectively. Early literacy is a citywide weak spot—while math proficiency is strong in most schools, ELA scores lag significantly; for example, Biloxi Junior High School posts 74.2% in 7th-grade math but just 43.4% in 7th-grade ELA. D'Iberville High's 85.7% graduation rate is a cautionary note despite its strong test performance. Chronic absenteeism affects Biloxi High School (25.5%), though Nichols Elementary School stands out with just 7.8% absenteeism and the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.6:1) in the area.
