Summary

Humphreys County High School is a public high school located in Belzoni, Mississippi, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 430 students. The school is part of the Humphreys County School District, which is ranked 128 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Humphreys County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi high schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 183 and 229 out of 226-237 schools.

Academically, Humphreys County High School significantly underperforms the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.5% in English II to 53% in Algebra I, compared to the state averages of 49.5% and 67.3%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 84% and 89.4%, slightly below the state average, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.4% to 27.2%, notably higher than the state average. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the fact that all of the school's students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While the nearby Gentry High School, located approximately 20 miles away in the Sunflower City Consolidated School District, also performs below the state average, its academic performance is generally better than Humphreys County High School. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the academic challenges at Humphreys County High School, which has struggled to make meaningful improvements despite the efforts of the district and school administration.
