Summary:
The city of Seminary, Mississippi is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Seminary Elementary School, Seminary High School, and Seminary Middle School. These schools are part of the Covington County School District.
Based on the data, Seminary Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 30-50 elementary schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating. Its students significantly outperform district and state averages on standardized tests, with over 75% proficient or better in ELA and Math. In contrast, Seminary High School and Seminary Middle School have more average performance, with rankings in the middle of the state and mixed test score results.
Across all three schools, high rates of chronic absenteeism around 24% are a concern, as is the 100% free/reduced lunch rate indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community. The district does maintain relatively small student-teacher ratios, especially at the middle school level, which could be a strength to build upon. Overall, the data suggests the district has an opportunity to focus improvement efforts at the secondary level to drive better outcomes and equity for all students in Seminary.
