Middle Schools in Kosciusko School District

Summary:

The Kosciusko School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Kosciusko Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, but its statewide ranking has declined slightly during that time.

Kosciusko Junior High School's academic performance varies across different subjects and grade levels. While 8th-grade students have strong proficiency rates in Mathematics (68.5%) and Algebra I (100%), 7th-grade students struggle more in ELA (28.8%) and Mathematics (44.8%). The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (80.08%), indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's consistent 3-star rating, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing academic proficiency gaps and chronic absenteeism. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students also highlights the need for targeted support and resources to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Kosciusko School District.
