Summary:

The Harrison County School District in Mississippi is home to 15 elementary schools serving grades K-8, with student populations ranging from 170 to 1,006. The district as a whole is ranked 17 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out as top performers within the district, including West Wortham Elementary And Middle, North Woolmarket Elementary And Mid, and Lizana Elementary School. These schools consistently rank among the top 10-11 elementary schools in Mississippi, with exceptional test scores and proficiency rates of 73-98% across core subjects. In contrast, other schools, such as North Gulfport Elementary And Middl and River Oaks Elementary School, struggle with significantly lower academic performance.

The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the district, which average 23.9% - higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 46.67% to 85.77%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, which district leaders may need to address to ensure equity and improve outcomes for all students.
