Summary:
The Philadelphia Public School District in Mississippi contains only one high school, Philadelphia High School, which serves grades 9-12. The data shows that this school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages across various academic measures, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Philadelphia High School has ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools, with a SchoolDigger rating of just 1 out of 5 stars. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and English II. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.4% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% is relatively high.
The data also reveals that Philadelphia High School serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor, the consistently low academic performance suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at the school.
