Summary

R.H. Long Booneville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Booneville, Mississippi, part of the Booneville School District, which is ranked 9th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 410 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 13:1, the school consistently performs well on state assessments, with a significant portion of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

Over the past several years, R.H. Long Booneville Middle School has ranked among the top middle schools in Mississippi, with rankings ranging from 11th to 92nd out of over 250 schools, placing it in the top 20-35% of middle schools in the state. This high performance is particularly impressive given the school's very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57% to over 99% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to the nearby middle schools, such as Corinth Middle School, Alcorn Central Middle School, Guntown Middle School, and Kossuth Middle School, R.H. Long Booneville Middle School generally outperforms these schools on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from around 12% to nearly 24% in the past few years, which is an area of concern that may impact student learning and achievement.

the school seems to be ran well from a office stand point.
Although the kids are all selling and doing vapes and fighting in the bathrooms. you can tell teachers and nothing seems to get done. Also the teachers send work home but are not available thru email to help with it. Not all kids learn the same way. Covid has shown how lazy booneville school teachers have gotten. You almost get a sense that they act as we owe them something Close Quote
