Summary:
The city of Heidelberg, Mississippi is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: William J Berry Elementary School, Heidelberg High School, and Heidelberg Junior High School. These schools are part of the East Jasper Consolidated School District, which serves the Heidelberg community.
Among the three schools, Heidelberg High School stands out, ranking 148 out of 232 Mississippi high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's impressive 87.2% proficiency rate in Algebra I, well above the state average, and a relatively high 89.4% 4-year graduation rate are particular strengths. Heidelberg Junior High School also performs well, ranking 166 out of 266 Mississippi middle schools and exceeding the state averages in 8th grade Mathematics and Science.
In contrast, William J Berry Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below state averages. The district as a whole, the East Jasper Consolidated School District, is ranked 77 out of 130 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that district-level factors may be influencing the performance of individual schools. Addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be key priorities for the district to improve academic outcomes across all three schools.
