Summary

Booneville High School is a public high school in Booneville, a small town in northeast Mississippi, serving grades 9–12 with about 370 students. It operates within the Booneville School District, one of the stronger districts in the state, currently ranked 22nd out of 134 districts. The school has a history of strong statewide performance, including a 6th-place finish in 2018–2019 and a 19th-place ranking in 2024–2025, but it slid to 62nd in 2025–2026, showing notable year-to-year swings.

Booneville's biggest academic strength is English II, where 62.3% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, well above the state average of 49.3% and ahead of Kossuth High School and Alcorn Central High School. U.S. History is another strong subject, with 83.9% proficiency in 2024–2025, the highest among neighboring schools. However, Algebra I is a clear weakness: Booneville's 61.3% proficiency rate trails the state average of 66.0% and every nearby school, including New Site High School (78.4%) and Kossuth (82.8%).

Chronic absenteeism is a concern: 24.0% of Booneville students were chronically absent in 2023–2024, far above the district's 15.5% rate and most nearby schools like Biggersville High School and Baldwyn High School. The graduation rate of 88.7% is roughly average for the state and below several peers, and Booneville has the largest student–teacher ratio in its comparison group at 13.9. In short, Booneville offers strong English and history instruction within a well-regarded district, but parents should ask about math support and attendance patterns.
