Summary:
The Kosciusko School District in Mississippi is home to three elementary schools: Kosciusko Lower Elementary, Kosciusko Middle, and Kosciusko Upper Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of a district that is ranked 47th out of 130 districts in the state.
Kosciusko Upper Elementary stands out for its consistent improvement in statewide rankings, moving from 178th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 141st out of 383 in 2024-2025. Additionally, Kosciusko Middle and Kosciusko Upper Elementary have relatively high proficiency rates in mathematics compared to the state average, with Kosciusko Upper Elementary also excelling in 5th-grade science proficiency.
However, the schools in the Kosciusko School District face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the district and its schools are performing at an average level compared to other districts in the state, there is room for improvement, particularly in addressing attendance and supporting economically disadvantaged students.
