Summary:

The 39773 zip code in West Point, Mississippi is home to a single high school, West Point High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the West Point Consolidated School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently lower academic performance compared to state averages and a high rate of chronic absenteeism among its student population, 100% of whom are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

West Point High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 89.4%, which is a positive metric. However, the school's proficiency rates on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) exams have been consistently lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 35.5% in 8th grade ELA, 38.1% in 8th grade Math, and 29.1% in English II, compared to state averages of 41.7%, 47.5%, and 49.5%, respectively.

The high poverty level at West Point High School, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2023-2024 school year is a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Over the past three school years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from 158th out of 228 Mississippi high schools in 2023-2024 to 191st out of 232 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is falling behind its peers in the state.
