Summary:
The Columbia School District in Mississippi serves students from 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 49th out of 130 districts in the state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively consistent level of performance across the schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, Columbia Elementary School is ranked 99th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools and earned a 4-star rating, outperforming the state average in several MAAP test subjects. Similarly, Jefferson Middle School is ranked 83rd out of 243 Mississippi middle schools and earned a 3-star rating, performing above the state average in several MAAP test subjects.
However, the district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% across all schools and a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. While Columbia High School had a 89.4% four-year graduation rate and outperformed the state average in several End-of-Course exams, there is room for improvement, especially in areas where test scores fall below the state average.
