Biggersville High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Biggersville High School is a small, rural public school in Corinth, Mississippi, serving 263 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Alcorn School District. The school has made an extraordinary leap in state rankings, jumping from 173rd (1 star) to 66th (4 stars) in a single year—making it one of the most improved schools in northeast Mississippi, despite serving a student body where nearly 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among nearby high schools.

Biggersville's standout strength in the latest year is mathematics. Algebra I proficiency reached 91.9%, far exceeding the state average of 66.0% and surpassing nearby Kossuth High School (82.8%), Booneville High School (61.3%), and Corinth High School (37.7%). The school also includes 7th and 8th graders, and those grades consistently outperform state averages in math and science. Graduation rates have remained strong, hitting 94.3% in 2024–2025, above the state rate of 89.2%. With a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, students benefit from relatively small classes. In the latest state ranking, Biggersville also leapfrogged Alcorn Central High School (98th) within the same district.

The biggest concerns are literacy and attendance. English II proficiency sits at 50.0%, essentially tied with the state average but below the district, and 8th grade ELA lags further behind. Chronic absenteeism has crept upward to 23.4%, a red flag given the school's high poverty rate. Because Biggersville is so small, scores can swing dramatically from year to year—Algebra I alone went from 34.6% to 91.9% in two years—so it remains to be seen whether the recent success is a lasting trend or the work of one exceptional cohort. If the math gains persist and literacy improves, Biggersville could become a regular presence among Mississippi's top rural high schools.

biggerville is a small school but has a great falculty that is willing to spend a lot of 1 on 1 time with each and eveery student. the sports programs are great for every child that wants to play. due to the schools small attendance it allows whomever wants to play a sport to actually participate instead of hoping to make the team.
