Summary:
ZIP code 38922 is served by a single high school, Coffeeville High School, a very small rural school in Coffeeville, Mississippi, serving grades 9 through 12 with just 110 students enrolled in the Coffeeville School District. Because this district only operates this one high school, district-level data is identical to school-level data. Every single student at the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, making it a 100% economically disadvantaged student body.
Coffeeville High School has some notable bright spots and serious concerns. With a student-to-teacher ratio of just 7-to-1, class sizes are small enough to allow for personalized attention. However, the graduation rate of 78% trails the state average of 89.2% by more than 11 points, and chronic absenteeism stands at 36.1% — roughly 51% higher than the state's 23.9% — meaning about 40 students are chronically absent in a typical year. Test proficiency scores also fluctuate dramatically. Algebra I proficiency fell from 68.1% in 2024–2025 to just 37.5% the next year, while English II dropped from 62.5% to 39.1%. Biology proficiency held steady at 41.7% in both years, well below the state average around 62-63%.
The school's state performance ratings reflect this volatility, swinging from 0 stars (7th percentile) in 2023–2024, to 4 stars (82nd percentile) in 2024–2025, and back down to 1 star (15th percentile) in 2025–2026. These swings are likely amplified by the tiny 110-student enrollment, where the performance of a handful of students can shift results significantly. For parents, the key takeaway is that Coffeeville High School offers favorable class sizes and occasional strong years, but faces persistent challenges with absenteeism, graduation rates, and consistent academic proficiency — particularly in Biology, where improvement has not yet materialized.
