Summary

Grenada High School is a large public high school in Grenada, Mississippi, serving 1,026 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Grenada School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 7% of all Mississippi districts. The school has earned 4-star ratings for the past decade and currently ranks in the 72nd percentile of Mississippi high schools, with a graduation rate of 91.2% that exceeds the state average of 89.2%. About two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Grenada outperforms the state in every End-of-Course subject, often by wide margins. In the most recent scores, Biology proficiency was 75.8% versus 63.1% statewide, and English II was 56.8% versus 49.3%. The comparison with nearby schools is even more striking: Winona Secondary School posted a 48.4% Biology proficiency, J.Z. George High School posted 32.5%, and Coffeeville High School posted 41.7%. Graduation rates also tell the story: Winona (77.6%) and Coffeeville (78.0%) trail Grenada by more than 13 points, while J.Z. George (88.9%) remains slightly behind.

Grenada’s main challenge is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 28.7%—above the state’s 23.9%—although it has improved significantly from a peak of 38.8% in 2021–22. The school’s state percentile ranking has also drifted downward slightly over five years, from 86th to 72nd, and English II is its least dominant subject—an area worth watching. Still, with broad course offerings, a strong Biology program, and steady top-quarter rankings, Grenada stands as the clear academic leader in its region, offering families a stable and high-performing option compared with neighboring schools.
