Summary:
The Covington County School District in Mississippi is home to two high schools: Collins High School and Seminary High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the student population.
Based on the available data, Seminary High School appears to be the standout performer in the district. The school has consistently ranked higher than Collins High School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, reaching as high as 99th out of 232 Mississippi high schools. Additionally, Seminary High School outperforms Collins High School and the district average on several key test score metrics, including Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History.
While both schools have similar high graduation rates of around 89%, the data suggests that the Covington County School District as a whole is performing at an average level compared to other districts in Mississippi, with a ranking of 63rd out of 130 school districts. Both schools also face challenges in terms of chronic absenteeism, with rates around 24% for the 2022-2023 school year, which may be an area for the district to focus on improving.
