High Schools in Western Line Schools

Summary:

The Western Line School District in Mississippi is home to two high schools: O'Bannon High School and Riverside High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and face similar socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While the two high schools have comparable graduation rates and chronic absenteeism, Riverside High School stands out as the district's top performer. The school has consistently outpaced O'Bannon High School and the state average in standardized test scores, particularly in subjects like English Language Arts, Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 62% of Riverside High School students were proficient or better in MAAP/English II, compared to 27.1% at O'Bannon High School and 49.5% statewide.
