Summary:

The Amory School District in Mississippi consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district has a mix of strong-performing and improving schools, with some notable standouts and areas for improvement.

East Amory School, an elementary school, has consistently ranked among the top 80-90 elementary schools in Mississippi, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, are notably higher than the state averages. In contrast, Amory Middle School has a more mixed performance, with some grades exceeding the state average and others falling behind, especially in English Language Arts.

Amory High School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 101st in 2022-2023 to 98th in 2023-2024 and 59th in 2024-2025. Its graduation rate of 89.4% is also higher than the state average. However, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which is significantly higher than the state's desired target. Additionally, the schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement.
