Hinds County School District

Summary:

The Hinds County School District in Mississippi consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district as a whole is ranked 69 out of 130 in Mississippi and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out in their performance. Raymond Elementary/Carver Middle School has the highest proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 83.7% of 5th graders proficient in science in 2024-2025, compared to 72.5% for the district and 66.3% for the state. Gary Road Intermediate School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking and has proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics above the district and state averages. While ranked lower overall, Utica Elementary / Middle School stands out for its strong performance in mathematics, with 76.7% of 7th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 50.1% for the district and 55.5% for the state.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools in the district. The schools with the highest rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients tend to have lower proficiency rates on state assessments, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% across all schools in the district is a concern and may be contributing to the overall academic challenges. The district has opportunities to focus its efforts on targeted interventions for struggling schools, addressing chronic absenteeism, and exploring strategies to support students from low-income backgrounds.
