Summary

Potts Camp High School (5-12) is a public high school located in Potts Camp, Mississippi, serving grades 5-12 as part of the Marshall County School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 28th in 2013-2014 to a low of 178th in 2022-2023, with its current ranking at 155th out of 232 Mississippi high schools and a 2-star rating.

One of Potts Camp High School's strengths is its relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.7% to 93.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 29.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) exams are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, though it performs better in some subject areas, such as Algebra I, U.S. History, and Biology. The school also has a very high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to the nearby Ashland Middle-High School and Holly Springs High School, Potts Camp High School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates and student-teacher ratio, but lags behind in test scores and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these areas of concern could help the school improve its overall performance and better serve its economically disadvantaged student population.
