Summary

Senatobia High School is a public high school in Senatobia, Mississippi, serving 468 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Senatobia Municipal School District, which is currently ranked 39th out of 134 Mississippi districts. The school has shown a dramatic improvement in its state ranking, jumping from 143rd place in 2024–2025 to 70th out of 224 high schools in 2025–2026, earning a 3-star rating.

Academically, Senatobia stands out for its strong math and science performance. On the 2025–2026 MAAP end-of-course exams, 80.6% of students scored proficient in Algebra I and 71.5% in Biology, both well above state averages. This puts Senatobia competitive with nearby schools in the DeSoto County School District, like Lewisburg High School and Hernando High School, though still behind them. However, English II remains a clear weakness, with only 49.6% proficient — essentially at the state average and far behind Lewisburg (70.6%) and Hernando (69.9%). This English II gap is likely the biggest barrier to a higher overall ranking.

Senatobia's 92.0% graduation rate for 2024–2025 exceeds the state average of 89.2% and is well above nearby rural schools like Independence High School (85.7%), Strayhorn High School (86.7%), and North Panola High School (78.0%). However, the rate dipped to 79.4% the previous year, showing some volatility. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 30.4% of students chronically absent in 2023–2024, above the state average of 23.9%, though better than most nearby schools. The school serves a majority low-income population, with 61.1% of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch — a much higher rate than Lewisburg (18.3%) or Hernando (23.0%), but lower than North Panola (99.1%). Given its small enrollment, Senatobia's year-to-year swings in rankings and test scores should be viewed with some caution, but the recent improvement is genuinely encouraging.

I am only giving it one star, because if there were negative stars, I would click as many as possible. This school has very poor administration and little supervision, everything is a joke to them. The Elementary is exceptional, but the Junior High and High School, awful. If you can afford Magnolia Heights, you are way better off. It's worth it! Or you are better off going to Gateway. Do your children a huge favor and beware of this school. Do your research! Close Quote
