Summary

Senatobia High School is a public high school in Senatobia, Mississippi, serving 461 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Senatobia Municipal School District, which is ranked 53 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Senatobia High School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with strong results in Algebra I and U.S. History but lower proficiency rates in English II compared to the state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 78.7% to 90.2% in recent years, generally on par with or slightly below the state average. However, Senatobia High School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.6% to 30.4%, which is significantly higher than the state's average. The school also serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.81% to 99.37% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby high schools in the Desoto County School District, such as Lewisburg High School and Hernando High School, Senatobia High School lags behind in academic performance, with these neighboring schools consistently outperforming Senatobia High School on state assessments. The high chronic absenteeism rate and the significant economic challenges faced by the student population at Senatobia High School suggest that the school and district should focus on implementing targeted interventions and providing additional support to address these issues and improve overall student outcomes.

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
