Middle Schools in Picayune School District


Summary:

The Picayune School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Picayune Junior High School, which serves grades 7-8 and has a total enrollment of 510 students. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating in the past two school years, its statewide ranking has dropped from 111th to 137th out of 264 Mississippi middle schools, indicating a potential decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.

Picayune Junior High School's academic performance is mixed, with some areas, such as 7th-grade Math, exceeding the state average, while others, like English Language Arts (ELA) and 8th-grade Math and Science, fall below the state average. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its overall academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact student learning and achievement.

The school's funding and staffing challenges may also contribute to its performance issues. The school's per-student spending is below the national average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the national average. These factors indicate a need for additional resources and support to help the school improve its outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its students.
