The Moss Point Separate School District in Mississippi operates four schools, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district faces significant challenges, with all schools performing below state averages on various academic assessments.

Moss Point High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate of 89.4% and strong performance in Biology End of Course exams, but struggles with low proficiency in English II.

All schools in the district face high chronic absenteeism rates and have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges for the student population.
