High Schools in Jones County School District


Summary:

The Jones County School District in Mississippi is home to three high schools: West Jones High School, South Jones High School, and Northeast Jones High School. While all three schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, South Jones High School stands out as the top performer in the district.

South Jones High School ranks 57th out of 228 Mississippi high schools and receives a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, West Jones High School and Northeast Jones High School show more mixed results, with lower statewide rankings and test scores in some areas.

The racial composition of the high schools varies, with West Jones High School being the most diverse and Northeast Jones High School being the least diverse. However, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between racial diversity and academic performance. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending across the schools do not directly translate to better outcomes, as South Jones High School, the top performer, has a lower per-student spending amount than Northeast Jones High School.
