Summary

Mooreville High School is a public high school in Mooreville, MS, serving 445 students in grades 9–12 within the Lee County School District. The school is a strong performer, ranking 41st of 224 Mississippi high schools for 2025–2026 — an 82nd-percentile result that earns 4 stars and marks a 58-place jump in two years. Mooreville High School outpaces district and state averages by wide margins on end-of-course tests, with 71.8% proficient in Algebra I, 67.3% in English II, and 72.3% in Biology. Its 90.4% graduation rate exceeds state and district averages, and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 points to relatively small class sizes.

Among nearby schools, only Itawamba Agricultural High School (ranked 34th) and Baldwyn High School (ranked 35th) place higher. Mooreville High School ranks well ahead of Saltillo High School (114th), Tupelo High School (112th), Nettleton High School (125th), and Shannon High School (200th). English II is a standout: Mooreville High School's 67.3% proficiency is 18 points above the state average and higher than every nearby school, including Itawamba Agricultural High School (57.7%), Baldwyn High School (57.4%), and Tupelo High School (51.8%).

The school's defining weakness is chronic absenteeism: 50.2% of students were chronically absent in 2023–2024, more than double the state average of 23.9% and far above Saltillo High School (28.3%), Itawamba Agricultural High School (24.0%), and Baldwyn High School (18.7%). This is striking given the strong test scores — attending students perform well, but many are missing substantial instructional time. Notably, Mooreville High School and Shannon High School are both in the Lee County district, yet Mooreville High School outperforms Shannon High School by 30–45 percentage points on core tests despite similar attendance challenges, with a much lower poverty rate (43.8% vs. 79.6% free/reduced lunch). Biology scores have been volatile, and U.S. History trails Saltillo High School, offering areas for improvement. With moderate poverty, small classes, and rising rankings, Mooreville High School has the foundation to become one of northern Mississippi's top high schools if it can tackle attendance.
