Summary

Saltillo High School serves 939 students in grades 9–12 in Saltillo, Mississippi, and is part of the Lee County School District. The school currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks 114th out of 224 Mississippi high schools, placing it at the 49th percentile. Its graduation rate of 88.8% in 2024-25 is above the district average of 83.2% but slightly below the state average of 89.2%. About 44.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — a relatively low rate compared with nearby Tupelo High School (61.5%) and Shannon High School (79.6%).

Saltillo’s standout subject is U.S. History, where 87% of students were proficient in 2024-25 — more than 17 points above the state average. However, math and science results trail the state. In 2025-26, only 58.6% of students were proficient in Algebra I and 59.6% in Biology, compared with state averages of 66.0% and 63.1%. Nearby Mooreville High School — which has nearly the same poverty rate as Saltillo — outperforms Saltillo in every tested subject, including English II (67.3% vs. 51.1%). Baldwyn High School and New Albany High School also post stronger Algebra I and Biology scores, while Tupelo is roughly comparable.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern: 28.3% of Saltillo students were chronically absent in 2023-24, above the state average of 23.9%. This is notable given the school’s relatively low poverty rate. On a positive note, the student-teacher ratio improved to 13.9 in 2024-25, and graduation rates remain above the district average. Still, Saltillo has declined from a 4-star, 77th-percentile ranking in 2015-16 to a 3-star, 49th-percentile school today. With solid demographics and improved staffing, the school has strong foundations to build on — particularly if it can replicate its U.S. History success in other subjects and address absenteeism.
