Summary:
Located in zip code 39744, the area contains a single public high school—Eupora High School—serving 437 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Webster County Schools district in Eupora, Mississippi. Because only one high school exists in this zip code, all comparisons are made against district and state averages rather than nearby schools.
Eupora High School shows notable academic strengths, particularly in mathematics. In 2025–2026, 7th grade math proficiency reached 68.3%, well above the state average of 57.7%, and Algebra I End of Course proficiency hit 73.4% compared to 66.0% statewide. Eighth grade math also improved dramatically year over year, jumping from 31.1% to 50.7%. U.S. History was a bright spot in 2024–2025, with 77.3% proficiency. The school also benefits from a favorable 11.4:1 student–teacher ratio. However, its state ranking has been volatile, moving from 85th (2023–2024) to 149th (2024–2025) and back to 104th (2025–2026), placing it in the 54th percentile among 224 Mississippi high schools.
Despite these strengths, the school faces serious challenges. Chronic absenteeism sits at 32.3%, significantly above the state rate of 23.9%, and the graduation rate is just 76.6% versus 89.2% statewide—a gap of 12.6 percentage points. English II proficiency (45.4%) also trails the state average, and 57.89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a largely low-income population. Year-to-year test results are mixed, with biology falling 10.8 points and 6th grade ELA dropping 12.0 points, though math gains were substantial. Improving attendance and graduation outcomes while sustaining recent math improvements would likely stabilize the school’s performance and raise its standing in Mississippi.
