Summary:

The 38646 zip code is home to a single high school, M.S. Palmer High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Quitman County School District, which is ranked 64 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

M.S. Palmer High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from 138th out of 226 Mississippi high schools in 2022-2023 to 83rd out of 232 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding change in its SchoolDigger star rating from 2 to 3. The school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.4% for the 2022-2023 school year, but also a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% for the same school year.

Academically, M.S. Palmer High School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on the MAAP exams that are significantly lower than the statewide averages in several subjects, particularly in Algebra I (33.4% vs. 67.3% statewide) and Biology (37.1% vs. 62% statewide). This disparity in test scores suggests that the students at M.S. Palmer High School are struggling to meet the state's academic standards. Additionally, the fact that 100% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a community with high levels of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.
