Summary:

The 38637 zip code in Mississippi is home to a single high school, Horn Lake High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data provides a mixed picture, with some areas of strength but also room for improvement.

Horn Lake High School's four-year graduation rate of 89.4% is a positive indicator, but the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% is relatively high. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra I and U.S. History exceed state averages, but its English II and Biology proficiency rates fall short of both district and state levels. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to address these academic disparities.

One notable aspect of Horn Lake High School is the high percentage of students (75.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges. The school's relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 may provide opportunities to implement strategies that address the needs of this high-need student population and improve overall academic performance.
