Summary

Corinth Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Corinth School District in Corinth, Mississippi, with a total enrollment of 717 students. The school faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to state averages and nearby schools, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Corinth Middle School's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the years, with the school ranking 145 out of 266 middle schools in Mississippi in 2024-2025, down from a ranking of 62 out of 266 in 2014-2015. In comparison, the nearby R.H. Long Booneville Middle School and Kossuth Middle School consistently outperform Corinth Middle School on test scores, chronic absenteeism, and other key metrics, and are located in higher-performing school districts.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Corinth Middle School, ranging from 68.62% to 99.59% over the past few years, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. To address these challenges, the school could benefit from focusing on reducing chronic absenteeism, improving test scores, and implementing targeted interventions and strategies to support the needs of its high-poverty student population.
