Summary

Biloxi Junior High School serves 863 students in 7th and 8th grades in Biloxi, Mississippi, and is the only junior high school in the Biloxi Public School District. The school consistently earns top marks, ranking 25th of 260 Mississippi middle schools (90th percentile) with a 5-star rating, and has stayed in the top 12% of schools statewide for the past decade.

Mathematics is this school's clear strength. Proficiency rates in both 7th grade (74.2%) and 8th grade (70.2%) far exceed state averages, matching or nearly matching the top-ranked Ocean Springs Middle School and Long Beach Middle School. Science performance is also strong, with 72.7% of 8th graders proficient, comfortably ahead of Bayou View Middle, St. Martin Middle School, and D'Iberville Middle School. The school also posts an impressively low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.8%, far better than most nearby schools, and 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency (58.6%) is on par with regional leaders. This strong attendance and math performance are especially notable given that about 63% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is higher than many neighboring middle schools.

The one area of concern is 7th grade English Language Arts, where proficiency has fallen sharply from 56.4% to 43.4% over the past two years. That figure now trails nearly every comparable school, including Ocean Springs Middle School (56.3%) and Bayou View Middle (51.5%), and even lags the 56.5% ELA proficiency seen at the feeder school, Biloxi Upper Elementary School. If the school can reverse this 7th grade reading slide, it has a realistic path to challenging the very top tier of Gulf Coast middle schools. As it stands, Biloxi Junior High is a strong, well-rounded school with elite math outcomes, great attendance, and a record of consistent top-10% performances.
