Summary

Three Rivers Elementary is a K-6 school in Gulfport, Mississippi, serving 492 students in the highly rated Harrison County School District. In 2025-2026, the school ranked 92nd out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating and placing it in the top quarter of the state. While its free and reduced lunch rate of nearly 100% is similar to many neighboring schools, Three Rivers delivers far stronger academic outcomes, making it a standout "beating the odds" school in the area.

The school's 5th grade science program is a true signature strength, with proficiency rates above 84% for three consecutive years—beating the state average by 15 to 18 points. Three Rivers also outperforms its high-poverty neighbors in nearly every subject. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 67.6%, compared to 41.0% at Bel-Aire Elementary, 44.1% at Crossroads Elementary, and 45.1% at River Oaks Elementary. A 14:1 student-teacher ratio, lower than most nearby schools, may support this success.

Math achievement remains the biggest opportunity for growth, with scores above state averages but below the district in every grade. Chronic absenteeism of roughly 18-20% is better than peers like North Gulfport Elementary and Middle (28.8%) but trails top performers like Bayou View Elementary (7.2%). Year-to-year swings in 3rd grade scores show room for more consistency, but the school's climb from a 2-star rating in 2015-2016 to a steady 4-star institution represents an impressive upward trajectory.
