Summary

St. Martin High School is a public high school in Ocean Springs, MS, serving about 1,289 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Jackson County School District. The school holds a 5-star rating and ranks #22 of 224 Mississippi high schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 90th percentile statewide, while its district ranks #2 of 134 districts in Mississippi. St. Martin's standout metric is its 95.0% graduation rate — the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Vancleave High School (94.3%), Ocean Springs High School (93.1%), and D'Iberville High (85.7%).

Academically, St. Martin beats state averages in every subject but trails some local peers. On 2025-2026 MAAP exams, Algebra I proficiency reached 85.8%, well above the state's 66.0%. However, English II proficiency was 62.4% — nearly 12 points behind Ocean Springs and 5 points behind Vancleave. Biology proficiency was 76.4%, trailing the district (80.4%) and Vancleave (86.3%). The Vancleave comparison is striking: it's in the same district, only 8.6 miles away, yet ranks #2 statewide and outperforms St. Martin in every tested subject. English II has consistently been St. Martin's clearest academic weakness across recent years.

Attendance is a concern: 28.8% of students were chronically absent in 2023-2024, about 5 points above the state average (23.9%) and 7 above the district (21.5%), though lower than Ocean Springs (36.7%). About 56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, placing St. Martin in the middle of nearby schools, and its 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio is similar to Biloxi High School's. St. Martin's ranking has been volatile — top-20 in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, then the 40s/50s, then back to #22. The combination of a high graduation rate with more modest test scores suggests the school moves students through to graduation effectively, but a meaningful share may leave without full proficiency in key subjects.
