of 224 Mississippi High Schools

Better than 98% of Mississippi high schools

Summary

Lewisburg High School in Olive Branch, MS, is a large public high school serving 1,330 students in grades 9-12, and it stands out as one of the premier schools in the DeSoto County School District. Currently ranked #5 out of 224 Mississippi high schools (98th percentile, 5-star rating), Lewisburg has finished in the top 10 for over a decade, even taking the #1 spot in the state in 2015-16 and 2016-17. Its graduation rate reached 100% in 2024-25, well above the state average of 89.2%.

Academically, Lewisburg posts exceptional end-of-course proficiency rates that far outpace district and state averages. In 2025-26, 90.7% of students were proficient in Algebra I, 70.6% in English II, and 82.1% in Biology. Compared to nearby schools, Lewisburg beats every one of them in Algebra I and English II, and essentially ties Olive Branch High School for the top spot in Biology. Only Hernando High School comes close to Lewisburg’s overall standing, making them the clear top tier of 5-star schools in the region. The gap widens significantly further down the list, with schools like Southaven High School, Horn Lake High School, and Byhalia High School trailing notably in both rankings and test scores.

Lewisburg also has a distinct socioeconomic profile, with only 18.27% of its students receiving free/reduced lunch—the lowest rate among all nearby high schools (Hernando High School is next at 22.96%). However, there is a troubling exception to this sterling record: chronic absenteeism. In 2023-24, Lewisburg reported a 46.9% chronic absenteeism rate, dramatically higher than the district average of 26.4%, the state average of 23.9%, and every comparable nearby school, including Hernando High School (29.7%), Center Hill High School (37.5%), and Horn Lake High School (39.4%). While this rate was just 9.4% before the pandemic, it spiked to 63.4% in 2021-22 and has remained stuck around 45-47% since. This paradox—elite test scores and graduation rates paired with high absenteeism—is a key concern for parents to keep in mind when evaluating the school.
