Summary

Caledonia High School serves 640 students in grades 9 through 12 in Caledonia, Mississippi, and is part of the Lowndes County School District. It has established itself as one of the strongest traditional public high schools in the region, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Mississippi schools over the past several years and earning 4- and 5-star state ratings. While nearby schools like West Point High School, Aberdeen High School, West Lowndes High School, and Columbus High School rank in the bottom third of the state, Caledonia is the highest-ranked traditional public high school in the immediate area, surpassed only by the selective Mississippi School For Math And Science.

Academically, Caledonia posts exceptionally strong end-of-course test scores, particularly in English II, Biology, and U.S. History, often doubling or tripling the proficiency rates of nearby schools. For example, in 2024-2025, 93.9% of Caledonia students were proficient in Biology, compared to 73% in the district and 62% statewide. The school also serves a distinctly more affluent student population than its neighbors, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 42.34% in 2024-2025, compared to rates near 100% at several surrounding high schools.

Despite these strengths, Caledonia has a couple of areas to watch. Algebra I proficiency dropped to 64.2% in 2025-2026, falling below the state average, and chronic absenteeism has climbed to 26.3%, meaning more than one in four students are missing significant instructional time. The graduation rate is solid at 91.6%, though slightly below the district average and less exceptional than its test scores. Overall, Caledonia High School is a clear academic leader in a challenging region, offering a strong education for families, though addressing absenteeism and math performance would make it even stronger.
