Summary:

Zip code 39652 contains exactly one high school, South Pike High School in Magnolia, Mississippi, which serves 425 students in grades 9–12 as part of the South Pike School District. With no other high schools in the zip code, local comparison is impossible, so district and state averages are the best reference points. The school serves an extremely high-poverty community—99.29% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—and has a student–teacher ratio of 13.4.

South Pike High School's graduation rate for 2024–25 is 78.4%, slightly better than the district's 77.7% but about 11 points below the state's 89.2%. Chronic absenteeism is a concern: 24.9% of students were chronically absent in 2023–24, exceeding both district (20.1%) and state (23.9%) rates. The school's state ranking percentile has also fallen sharply, from the 23rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 8th in 2024–25 and now the 6th percentile in 2025–26. Correspondingly, its star rating dropped from 1 star in 2023–24 to 0 stars in both 2024–25 and 2025–26.

Academically, South Pike High School trails the state in every tested subject on the MAAP End-of-Course exams. In 2025–26, Algebra I proficiency was 34.7% versus 66.0% statewide, English II was 34.5% versus 49.3%, and Biology was 27.8% versus 63.1%. The widest gaps are in Algebra I and Biology, while U.S. History is a relative bright spot at 59.7% proficiency in 2024–25, close to the state's 69.7%. Encouragingly, Algebra I proficiency improved by 7.3 points and English II by 11.1 points between 2024–25 and 2025–26. Since this is the district's only high school, school and district scores are identical. These academic outcomes should be viewed in the context of severe poverty and high absenteeism, which remain major barriers to student success.
