Summary:

The Amite County School District in Mississippi serves 914 students across three schools — Amite County Elementary (K-6), Amite County Middle School (7-8), and Amite County High School (9-12) — and is ranked 73rd out of 134 Mississippi districts with a 2-star rating, with all three schools serving a 100% economically disadvantaged student population.

Amite County Elementary is clearly the academic leader of the district. It is the only school with a consistent 3-star rating, holding that status for three consecutive years and ranking in the 51st percentile in 2025-2026. The elementary school outperforms the state in 4th and 5th grade math and 5th grade science. Amite County High School is the most improved, jumping from the 10th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, with major gains in Algebra I (+18.5 points) and English II (+17.5 points). However, Amite County Middle School is a red flag — it has declined from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 2-star rating and now sits in the 30th percentile, making it the lowest-performing school in the district relative to the state.

The most urgent concern is the middle school slide. Elementary students perform at or above state averages in 5th grade, but by 7th grade ELA proficiency drops to 27.4% and math to 41.9%, both well below state averages. All three schools struggle with chronic absenteeism (29.8% to 34.8% vs. 23.9% statewide), yet the elementary school still achieves strong results, showing that poverty and absenteeism alone don't determine outcomes. The district also has very favorable student-teacher ratios (8.8 to 12.8 students per teacher), yet secondary performance lags the state significantly. The high school's graduation rate (87.7%) is close to the state average (89.2%), showing students persist despite academic challenges. Overall, the district is being carried by the elementary school, and the middle school decline is the most urgent priority, but the high school's recent gains show that targeted improvement is possible.
