Summary:
The West Jasper Consolidated Schools district in Mississippi has only one high school, Bay Springs High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 247 students.
Bay Springs High School has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years, dropping from a 1-star rating to a 2-star rating and falling in the state rankings from 199 out of 228 schools in 2023-2024 to 126 out of 232 schools in 2024-2025. The school's test scores in subjects like Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History are generally lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Socioeconomic factors also appear to be a significant influence, with 93.52% of Bay Springs High School students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which can be a significant factor in student performance and educational outcomes. Overall, the data indicates that Bay Springs High School is facing difficulties in maintaining and improving its academic performance, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues.
