McComb School District

Summary:

The McComb School District in Mississippi serves approximately 3,000 students across 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district has faced significant challenges, ranking 106th out of 130 districts in the state and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district as a whole is underperforming, a few schools stand out. Summit Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking and has above-average test scores, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade math and science. Similarly, Denman Junior High School has relatively strong 7th and 8th-grade math scores compared to the state average, despite its overall ranking being in the bottom half of Mississippi middle schools.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates at McComb High School, high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, and consistently low test scores in English Language Arts and other subjects. These issues suggest a need for targeted interventions and support systems to help improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students in the McComb School District.
