Summary

Vicksburg High School is a public high school in Vicksburg, Mississippi, serving 785 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Vicksburg Warren School District. The school has climbed from the bottom 4% of Mississippi high schools in 2023–2024 to the 28th percentile (162nd out of 224) by 2025–2026. All students are eligible for free/reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty environment, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.1:1 — slightly better than nearby Warren Central High.

The school's performance on state tests is uneven but encouraging. In the 2025–2026 MAAP exams, it posted Biology proficiency of 63.3%, beating both the district (60.0%) and Warren Central High (58.6%) while matching the state average. English II proficiency (39.7%) also edges out the district (38.4%) and Warren Central High (37.5%). However, Algebra I remains a significant weakness at 38.1% proficiency — far below Warren Central High's 54.7% and the state's 66.0%. The gap between the two schools has narrowed dramatically, from a 47-place ranking difference in 2023–2024 to just 11 places in 2025–2026.

The biggest concern for parents is chronic absenteeism: 53.5% of students were chronically absent in 2023–2024, roughly double the state average (23.9%) and well above Warren Central High (37.9%). Despite this, the graduation rate is solid at 92.3%, above the state average of 89.2%. In short, Vicksburg High School is clearly improving — with strengths in science and English and a strong graduation rate — but math proficiency and attendance remain serious challenges that families should watch closely.
