Pass Christian Middle School's greatest academic strength is mathematics.

English language arts exceeds state averages in every grade, with 8th grade leading the way at 59.8 percent versus 40.9 percent statewide.

Despite 64 percent of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school consistently outperforms its socioeconomic profile. Attendance is a clear asset: chronic absenteeism is just 10.6 percent, less than half the state rate of 23.9 percent and well below the district's own 16.2 percent average. With strong math and science outcomes, excellent attendance, and a track record of top-tier rankings, Pass Christian Middle School stands out as a high-performing option for families in this district.
