Summary

Mooreville Middle School is a public school in Mooreville, Mississippi, serving 333 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Lee County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 54th out of 260 Mississippi middle schools. Over the past decade, Mooreville has steadily climbed from the middle of the pack to become one of the strongest middle schools in northeastern Mississippi. It has finished in the 74th percentile or higher every year since 2017–2018, and it currently ranks in the 79th percentile — far ahead of most schools in the region.

Mooreville's standout subjects are math and science. In the 2025–2026 school year, 83.9% of 7th graders scored proficient in math, compared to just 57.7% statewide, and 85.3% of 8th graders were proficient in science versus 57.8% statewide. These numbers also tower over nearby schools like Guntown Middle School, Shannon Middle School, and Plantersville Middle School, often by 20 to 30 percentage points. Even Tupelo Middle School, the largest school in the area with 1,070 students, trails Mooreville in 7th grade math, 8th grade math, and 8th grade science. English language arts scores are solid but less spectacular — Mooreville beats district and state averages in every grade, though by smaller margins, and 7th grade ELA dipped notably in 2025–2026 after a strong prior year.

Attendance and socioeconomic factors also set Mooreville apart. Chronic absenteeism was 19.9% in 2023–2024, well below the district's 26.2% and far better than Shannon Middle School (37.6%) or Tupelo Middle School (36.3%). Mooreville also has the lowest poverty rate among nearby middle schools, with 48.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 67% at Tupelo Middle School, 80.7% at Nettleton Junior High, and 99.6% at Plantersville Middle School. With a student–teacher ratio of 11.9, Mooreville delivers results that beat the odds in its district. For parents, Mooreville Middle School offers a stable, high-performing environment with exceptional STEM instruction and good attendance — a standout choice in Lee County.
