Summary

Kossuth Elementary School serves 570 students in grades PK-4 in Corinth, MS, within the Alcorn School District, and is currently ranked 61st out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 84th percentile statewide. That makes it the highest-ranked elementary school in the Corinth/Booneville area, well ahead of Hills Chapel School (98th), Alcorn Central Elementary School (101st), and Anderson Elementary School (103rd), while Corinth Elementary School (281st) and Burnsville Elementary School (284th) trail significantly.

Math is Kossuth's clear standout subject. Fourth grade math proficiency reached 82.3% in 2025-2026, about 30 points above the state average and 9 points above the next-best nearby school, while third grade math (65.7%) also beat state and district averages. English Language Arts results are solid but more variable, with 4th grade ELA at 58.3% and 3rd grade ELA at 57.3%, both above state averages though below the 74.4% posted by Hills Chapel School in 4th grade ELA. These fluctuating ELA scores suggest this is the academic area with the most room for growth.

Kossuth serves a majority low-income student population, with 62.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest rate among nearby comparison schools. Chronic absenteeism stands at 16.1%, better than the state average of 23.9% but higher than several nearby schools like Hills Chapel School (11.3%) and Chalybeate Elementary (12.2%). The student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is slightly higher than most neighboring schools. Kossuth earned five consecutive 5-star ratings from 2015-2016 through 2021-2022, and while it has settled into a strong 4-star tier in recent years, its 2025-2026 ranking reflects continued improvement. Reducing chronic absenteeism and strengthening ELA consistency could help the school return to its former top-tier status.
