Summary:
Louisville Municipal School District contains one high school, Louisville High, serving grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 475 students in Louisville, Mississippi. The district itself ranks 69th out of 134 districts in the state, earning a 3-star rating, but the high school presents a mixed picture of notable strengths and persistent challenges.
Louisville High stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, where 82.9% of students scored proficient on the MAAP test—nearly 17 points above the state average of 66.0%. This is a clear area of academic strength. The school also boasts a strong graduation rate of 96.5%, well above the state average of 89.2%, indicating that students who stay enrolled are successfully supported to completion. However, the school struggles significantly in English II, with only 33.6% proficient (state: 49.3%), and in Biology, with 50.0% proficient (state: 63.1%). English II proficiency has remained stagnant at 33.6% for two consecutive years, highlighting a persistent literacy challenge. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, affecting 36.4% of students compared to the state average of 23.9%. This is likely a contributing factor to the lower scores in reading and science.
In terms of state ranking, Louisville High has shown recent improvement, moving from 171st in 2024-2025 to 129th in 2025-2026, its highest percentile (42nd) in three years. The student-teacher ratio is a moderate 16.1:1. No free/reduced lunch data was provided, limiting socioeconomic analysis. For parents, the key takeaway is that Louisville High excels in mathematics and graduation success, but lags in literacy and science, with attendance a critical area for intervention. The school’s recent upward ranking trend is encouraging, but sustained gains will likely depend on addressing chronic absenteeism and strengthening English II and Biology instruction.
