Summary:
The city of Corinth, Mississippi is home to 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, divided between the Corinth School District and the Alcorn School District. The data reveals a clear performance gap between the two districts, with the Alcorn School District (ranked 30th out of 130 districts in Mississippi) outperforming the Corinth School District (ranked 67th).
Among the standout schools in the area are Kossuth Elementary School, Kossuth High School, and Kossuth Middle School, all part of the Alcorn School District. These schools consistently demonstrate high test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and strong graduation rates. In contrast, Corinth High School, the largest high school in the data set, has significantly lower rankings and test scores compared to its peers.
Across the schools, a key area of concern is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which is likely impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, there is a wide range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 49.51% at Kossuth High School to 77.51% at Biggersville Elementary, indicating varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
