Summary:

The Chickasaw County School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Houston High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data provides insights into its academic strengths and areas for improvement compared to district and state-level metrics.

Houston High School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, ranking between 91st and 98th out of over 200 Mississippi high schools. The school's graduation rate of 89.4% for the 2022-2023 school year is commendable, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% is a concern that may be impacting overall academic performance. In core subjects, Houston High School has outperformed the state average in Algebra I, but underperformed in English II, Biology, and U.S. History.

The school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 72.41% suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges and require targeted support. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.8 for the 2023-2024 school year is within a reasonable range, but the data indicates opportunities for improvement in certain subject areas to better serve the needs of the student population.
