Summary

Raymond High School is a public high school serving 557 students in grades 9-12 in Raymond, Mississippi. The school is part of the Hinds County School District, which is ranked 69 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Raymond High School has maintained relatively strong graduation rates, ranging from 85.2% to 91.8% over the past five years, the school faces significant challenges. It has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.5% to 40.3%, which are much higher than the state average. The school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with strengths in Algebra I and U.S. History but weaknesses in English II and Biology. Additionally, the school serves a population with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Terry High School, Raymond High School generally underperforms on test scores and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio. However, both schools face similar challenges with chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage. Addressing these issues will be crucial for Raymond High School to improve its overall performance and ranking within the state.
