Summary

Alcorn Central High School is a small, rural high school in Glen, MS, serving 386 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Alcorn School District. The school is a solid mid-tier performer in Mississippi, ranking in the 56th percentile (3 stars) for 2025-2026 after a rebound from a weaker previous year. With a student-teacher ratio of 10.2:1, Alcorn Central has the lowest class sizes of any nearby high school, which can mean more individualized attention. About 60.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, placing it in the middle of the pack compared with neighboring schools.

The school's standout metric is its graduation rate. In 2024-2025, 94.3% of students graduated, well above the state average of 89.2% and tied with Biggersville High School for the highest among nearby schools. However, this strength comes with a major red flag: 31% of students were chronically absent in 2023-2024, nearly double the district average and far higher than Kossuth High School's 18.1%. Academically, results are mixed. Algebra I proficiency has consistently topped state averages, though it dipped to 71.1% in 2025-2026. English II and U.S. History remain weak spots, with U.S. History falling from 82.6% to 60.2% in a single year, the lowest among neighboring schools.

Within the same district, Kossuth High School outperforms Alcorn Central in nearly every subject while serving a less economically disadvantaged population. The gap is most visible in English II (62.1% vs. 45.3%) and U.S. History (75.6% vs. 60.2%). Just four miles away, Corinth High School tells a different story entirely, with Alcorn Central far ahead in Algebra I (71.1% vs. 37.7%) and Biology (61.0% vs. 11.0%). The path forward for Alcorn Central likely involves tackling chronic absenteeism, strengthening literacy and social studies instruction, and learning from the success of its same-district peer, Kossuth.
