Summary

Raymond High School is a public high school in Raymond, Mississippi, serving 539 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Hinds County School District. The school serves a largely economically disadvantaged population, with approximately 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Raymond has experienced a notable decline in its state ranking, falling from a 3-star rating in recent years to a 1-star rating in 2025-26.

Academically, Raymond has a distinct strength in mathematics. In 2025-26, 60.2% of students scored proficient or above on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, well above the district rate of 50.9% and far exceeding nearby schools like Terry High School (41.6%), Jim Hill High School (36.7%), and Clinton High School (37.0%). U.S. History performance is also respectable, with 72.3% proficiency in 2024-25. However, English II proficiency sits at just 34.2%, below the state rate of 49.3%, and Biology proficiency has declined to 45.0% in 2025-26, well below the district rate of 62.0%.

The school's most pressing challenges are chronic absenteeism and a declining graduation rate. In 2023-24, 40.3% of students were chronically absent — nearly double the state average of 23.9%. The graduation rate has fallen sharply from 93.0% in 2021-22 to 80.3% in 2024-25, below the state rate of 89.2% and below Terry High School's rate of 84.6%. Clinton High School, located just 11 miles away, offers a benchmark for improvement, with a 92.7% graduation rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of only 20.3%.
