Summary:

The Holmes County Consolidated School District in Mississippi operates 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 113 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

While the district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all schools, a few standout institutions emerge. Durant Elementary School and S V Marshall Elementary School perform relatively well, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. For instance, in 2024-2025, 57.4% of 3rd graders at Durant Elementary were proficient or better in Math, compared to 45.6% for the district and 53.3% statewide.

However, the district as a whole struggles, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty in the community. Additionally, the district experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9% across the schools, which may contribute to the low academic performance. While the challenges are significant, the standout performance of a few schools suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from their successes and implement strategies to improve outcomes across the district.
