Summary

Kossuth High School is a public high school in Corinth, Mississippi, serving 398 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Alcorn School District. The school has been one of Mississippi's more consistent high performers, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 56th out of 224 schools statewide in the most recent year — the highest-ranked high school in its immediate area.

Kossuth's academic strengths are most visible in math and science. On the Algebra I end-of-course exam, 82.8% of students scored proficient, well above the state average of 66.0% and stronger than nearby Booneville High School (61.3%) and Alcorn Central High School (71.1%). Biology proficiency has improved four years in a row to 71.8%, and U.S. History scores have stayed well above state averages. Attendance is also a standout: Kossuth's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% is far lower than the state average of 23.9% and dramatically better than nearby Corinth High School (42.4%). The school also serves a student population with a lower rate of economic disadvantage (about 46% free/reduced lunch) than neighboring high schools, which provides important context for its strong results.

The one clear area for improvement is English II. Only 51.4% of Kossuth students scored proficient, barely above the state average, and Booneville High School has outperformed Kossuth in English II for two straight years. Graduation rates are solid at 91.3%, though slightly below the district average of 92.8%. While nearby Biggersville High School posted a dramatic one-year improvement, Kossuth's steady 4-star performance year after year makes it a dependable choice for families seeking a strong academic environment in the Corinth area.
