Louisville High

Louisville High is a public high school in Louisville, Mississippi, serving 475 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Louisville Municipal School District, which holds a 3-star rating. The school currently ranks 129th out of 224 Mississippi high schools, a meaningful improvement from past years when it fluctuated between 1- and 2-star ratings.

Louisville's academic profile is strikingly two-sided. In Algebra I, the school outperforms both the state and its nearest comparison school, Choctaw County High School, with 82.9% proficiency in 2025–2026 versus 66.0% statewide — nearly double Choctaw's 42.9%. English II, however, is a persistent weakness: only 33.6% of Louisville students are proficient, roughly 15 points below the state average. The school also trails Choctaw in Biology (50.0% vs. 55.7%) and U.S. History. This nearly 50-point gap between Algebra I and English II is one of the largest subject-level disparities you'll find in any school.

Chronic absenteeism stands out as a major concern, affecting 36.4% of students in 2023–2024 — about 13 points above both the state rate (23.9%) and Choctaw County High School's rate (23.7%). Yet despite these challenges, Louisville's 2024–2025 graduation rate reached 96.5%, exceeding the state's 89.2%, even as 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests strong senior support and credit recovery efforts. The school has climbed from the 14th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 42nd percentile today, but sustained improvement in literacy and attendance will be critical to continued progress.
