Summary
D’Iberville High School, part of the Harrison County School District in Biloxi, MS, serves 1,478 students in grades 9 through 12 and ranks among the top 10 high schools in the state. For the 2025–2026 school year, D’Iberville holds the 10th spot in Mississippi, placing it ahead of nearby Biloxi High School (17), Harrison Central High (18), St. Martin High School (22), and Gulfport High School (46), while Vancleave High School ranks as the highest-performing local school at number 2. The school’s academic reputation is largely driven by exceptional math performance, particularly a 92.3% proficiency rate in Algebra I, which far exceeds the state average of 66%.
Beyond test scores, D’Iberville stands out for having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (21.3%) among neighboring high schools, compared to Vancleave (24.0%), Harrison Central (24.8%), Gulfport (25.4%), Biloxi (25.5%), and St. Martin (28.8%). It does, however, operate with the largest class sizes in the area, holding a student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1 compared to Gulfport's 12.5:1. Economically, the school serves a moderate demographic profile, with roughly 58% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a stark contrast to the 98.99% rate at the district’s other large high school, Harrison Central.
The most pressing concern for parents is the school’s graduation rate, which has steadily declined to 85.7%—below the state average of 89.2% and most local peers, except for Harrison Central (83.2%). Additionally, while the school excels in math and science, English II proficiency sits at 62.6%, lagging behind the district average of 66.6%. Overall, D’Iberville High School offers a rigorous academic environment with strong attendance and top-tier math instruction, but families should be aware of the larger class sizes and the downward trend in on-time graduation rates.
