Mississippi Coast high schools have received a glowing report: five in Jackson and Harrison counties recently made a list of the top 10 in the state.
The ranking, compiled by U.S. News & World Report, chose Mississippi’s best public high schools this year based on how well they prepare students for college. It measures schools through students’ Advanced Placement test scores and average scores on state-required assessments, and also considers the percent of students who are Black, Hispanic and low-income.
Nearly half of students there take Advanced Placement, or AP, classes and 28% of enrolled students are minorities, U.S. News said. It also classified 100% of students there as “economically disadvantaged.”
The ranking was a step-up for Ocean Springs High School, which ranked second in the state in 2023, the district said in a post announcing the ranking on social media. In 2024 national rankings , Ocean Springs High School ranked 682th.
Thirty-five percent of its students take AP classes, according to U.S. News. Forty percent of students are minorities, and U.S. News also said all students at the high school are economically disadvantaged. In national rankings, Pass Christian ranked 2,028th.
