Summary:

The Harrison County School District in Mississippi is home to three middle schools: West Harrison Middle School, Diberville Middle School, and Orange Grove Elementary. These schools serve students in grades 5-8 and have consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with two of the schools ranking among the top middle schools in the state.

West Harrison Middle School and Diberville Middle School both maintain 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and consistently outperform the district and state averages in various academic areas, such as 8th grade MAAP/English Language Arts, 8th grade MAAP/Mathematics, and 8th grade MAAP/Science. These schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.

Despite the challenges faced by the schools, such as high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and chronic absenteeism, the Harrison County School District has demonstrated its ability to support its students and provide them with a quality education. The strong performance of West Harrison Middle School and Diberville Middle School suggests that the district has implemented effective strategies that could be shared with other schools to help raise the overall academic performance of the district.
