Summary

Heidelberg High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Heidelberg, Mississippi, which is part of the East Jasper Consolidated School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from 99th to 213th out of Mississippi high schools.

Heidelberg High School has maintained a relatively strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.2% to 92.2% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and comparable to the nearby schools. The school's test scores on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) exams are generally above the state average, particularly in Algebra I and U.S. History, but the school's performance in English II and Biology is more mixed, with scores below the state average in some years. However, Heidelberg High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 10% to 23.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Quitman High School, Bay Springs High School, and West Jones High School.

The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Heidelberg High School, consistently above 98% in recent years, indicates that the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges. This may require the school and the East Jasper Consolidated School District to provide additional resources and support to help students overcome these barriers to academic success. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and stabilizing the school's performance should be a priority for the school and district to ensure that students at Heidelberg High School have the best possible opportunities for success.
