Summary

Kossuth Middle School serves 374 students in grades 5–8 in Corinth, Mississippi, as part of the Alcorn School District, which ranks 26th out of 134 districts in the state. The school has historically been a strong performer, though its statewide ranking has slipped from the 88th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 61st percentile (3 stars) in the most recent 2025–2026 SchoolDigger ranking.

There is a lot for parents to like. Kossuth's 8th graders are exceptional in STEM: 67.9% are proficient in math and 73.0% in science, far outpacing state averages (51.4% and 57.8%) and well ahead of Alcorn Central Middle School, R.H. Long Booneville Middle School, and Corinth Middle School. Attendance is strong too — a 13.9% chronic absenteeism rate beats Corinth Middle's 29.0% and the state's 23.9%, with only Booneville slightly better at 12.2%. Class sizes are favorable at 13.2:1, and free/reduced lunch eligibility (about 60%) is lower than at nearby schools.

However, there's a significant catch. Kossuth's 6th graders post the lowest scores in the comparison group: 32.2% proficiency in ELA and 29.7% in math, far below state averages of 48.0% and 52.7%. Every nearby school beats Kossuth in 6th grade by wide margins. This creates a "tale of two grade bands" — 8th graders shine while 6th graders struggle. Overall average proficiency (51.8%) is nearly identical to Corinth Middle (51.75%), despite Kossuth having lower poverty, better attendance, smaller classes, and a stronger district. The school's biggest opportunity is understanding why 6th grade is such a hurdle and replicating 8th grade success earlier. Kossuth remains a solid school, but parents should ask how the school supports students through the 6th grade transition.
