Summary:
The Humphreys County School District in Mississippi operates three schools: Humphreys County High School, Ida Greene Elementary School, and O.M. McNair Middle School. The data shows that the schools in this district are consistently performing below the state average across a range of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
The test scores for all three schools are significantly lower than the state averages in all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in Algebra I at Humphreys County High School was 53%, compared to the state average of 67.3%. Similarly, the percentage of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Math at Ida Greene Elementary was just 21.2%, compared to the state average of 56.6%. The district also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the low-performing metrics, the schools in the Humphreys County School District have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.5 to 15.2. Additionally, all three schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve the quality of education for students in the Humphreys County School District.
