Summary

Corinth High School is a public school serving 610 students in grades 9–12 in Corinth, Mississippi, and is the largest high school among its neighbors within a roughly 20-mile radius. It belongs to the Corinth School District, which ranks 95th out of 134 Mississippi districts with a 2-star rating. By contrast, nearby districts like Booneville School District, Tishomingo County School District, and Alcorn School District each earn 4 stars. The school’s 2025–26 state ranking of 220th out of 224 high schools places it in the bottom 2% of the state, far below every nearby school.

The academic gaps are stark. Only 37.7% of students at Corinth High School are proficient in Algebra I, compared with 61.3% at Booneville High School, 71.1% at Alcorn Central High School, and 82.8% at Kossuth High School. Biology proficiency is even more alarming: just 11% of students at Corinth High School are proficient, versus a 63.1% state average and rates of 61–77% at nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism affects 42.4% of Corinth students — nearly double the state average and the highest in the area — while Kossuth High School has a rate of just 18.1%. On a positive note, the school’s 92% graduation rate exceeds the state average of 89.2%, though it trails Biggersville High School and Alcorn Central High School at 94.3%.

Perhaps most striking is the school’s dramatic decline: in 2010–11 it ranked 3rd out of 244 Mississippi high schools, and by 2025–26 it had fallen to 220th out of 224. The graduation-versus-proficiency gap suggests students are earning diplomas without reaching grade-level academic standards. What makes this especially frustrating is that nearby schools serving similar or even higher poverty rates — Biggersville High School at 68.8% free/reduced lunch and Tishomingo County High School at 63.7% — outperform Corinth High School significantly in both Algebra I and Biology. The Corinth School District’s average for Biology is 22.3%, meaning the high school lags even its own district baseline. The data suggests that attendance, science instruction, and academic expectations are areas where targeted improvement could make a real difference.

Sunday, March 19, 2017

We relocated to Corinth with our Son who would have been a Junior. We were met with a smug and insolent guidance counselor who informed us that Corinth's Cambridge Program far exceeded the school curriculum that our Son was transferring from. In fact they were only going to allow him to come to school as a Sophomore. I ended up turning down my executive job and we relocated back. I took my old job back and our Son resumed with his previous school (As a Junior) It was a horrible experience and it is very evident that this school does not accommodate kids transferring in from out of State.
