Summary:
The Alcorn School District in Mississippi is home to two high-performing middle schools, Kossuth Middle School and Alcorn Central Middle School, both of which consistently rank among the top 25-30% of middle schools in the state.
Kossuth Middle School and Alcorn Central Middle School have similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, yet they both outperform the Alcorn School District and Mississippi state averages in many MAAP test proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics and science. Both schools have a high percentage of white students and a very low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicating that they are effectively supporting their student populations despite the challenges of economic disadvantage.
The strong academic performance of these middle schools, as evidenced by their consistent top-ranking status in the state, is particularly noteworthy given the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students they serve. This suggests that the Alcorn School District is providing a high-quality education and effectively supporting its students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
