Summary:
Corinth School District, located in Corinth, Mississippi, contains just one high school: Corinth High School, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 610 students. Because this is the district's only high school, there are no within-district comparisons to make, so the focus is entirely on how this school performs against state averages. It currently ranks 220th out of 224 Mississippi high schools, placing it at the 2nd percentile with a 0-star rating.
Academically, proficiency rates are far below statewide averages. Only 11% of students scored proficient on the Biology end-of-course exam, versus 63.1% statewide, and 37.7% were proficient in Algebra I, compared to 66.0% statewide. That means roughly 89% of students are not meeting Biology proficiency standards. At the same time, the school's graduation rate is 92.0%, above the state's 89.2%, which points to a disconnect between graduating students and ensuring they master core academic content.
A significant red flag is chronic absenteeism: 42.4% of students are chronically absent, well above the district rate of 28.9% and the state rate of 23.9%. This likely contributes to the low test scores. The school's ranking has also declined steeply over time, from 170th (26th percentile, 1 star) in 2020–2021 to 179th (21st percentile, 1 star) in 2021–2022, and now 220th (2nd percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026. The district overall is similarly rated, coming in at 95th of 134 districts (29th percentile, 2 stars). On a more positive note, the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 13.7-to-1, and 56.7% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
