The 39466 zip code is home to a single public high school, Picayune Memorial High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Picayune School District. While Picayune Memorial High School has faced some challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate, the school has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking and academic performance.

Picayune Memorial High School has a total enrollment of 960 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.9, which is slightly lower than the state average.

However, the school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which may be linked to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).
