Forrest County School District


Summary:

The Forrest County School District in Mississippi is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While some schools in the district, such as South Forrest Attendance Center and Dixie Attendance Center, consistently rank among the top performers in the state, others face significant academic challenges.

The high-performing South Forrest Attendance Center and Dixie Attendance Center both hold 4-star ratings and excel in areas like English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Earl Travillion Attendance Center struggles to meet academic standards. The district's lone high school, North Forrest High School, also performs well, with proficiency rates in key subjects surpassing district and state averages.

Across the district, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 98.62% to 99.49%, suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed. The district's schools also vary in their racial compositions, with some having a majority White student population and others a majority African American student population. Addressing these inequities and ensuring all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities will be crucial for the Forrest County School District to achieve greater academic success.
