Summary

Kosciusko Senior High School is a public high school in Kosciusko, Mississippi, serving 588 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Kosciusko School District, which is ranked 47th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kosciusko Senior High School has seen a fluctuating statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 80th to 149th out of 226-237 Mississippi high schools. The school's SchoolDigger rating has been consistent at 3 stars out of 5, except for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, where it dropped to 2 stars. The school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.3% to 91.4% over the past five school years. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.8% in 2021-2022 to 26.4% in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, the nearby Ethel Attendance Center and McAdams Attendance Center, both part of the Attala County School District, have shown stronger academic performance than Kosciusko Senior High School in several areas, including higher test scores and higher statewide rankings. Ethel Attendance Center, in particular, has consistently ranked among the top 50 high schools in Mississippi and maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Kosciusko Senior High School (up to 99.5%) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges observed.
