Summary:

The 39553 zip code is home to a single high school, Gautier High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Pascagoula-Gautier School District. While Gautier High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, with a 4-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year.

Gautier High School's performance has been somewhat mixed, with its statewide ranking declining from 63rd out of 226 Mississippi high schools in 2022-2023 to 102nd out of 228 in 2023-2024 and 131st out of 232 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English II. However, the school has a relatively favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.9, which could be leveraged to support student learning.

Despite these challenges, Gautier High School has a 89.4% four-year graduation rate and a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a student population with significant economic challenges. The school's leadership and community will need to focus on improving academic performance, particularly in areas like English II, while also addressing the needs of their economically disadvantaged student population.
