How does your school stack up?
Type the name of any Mississippi public school. We'll show you exactly where it ranks — and where to find a higher-graded school nearby.
Start typing — pick your school from the dropdown.
How does your child's score stack up?
Enter your child's MAAP proficiency level in reading and math (it's on the score report Mississippi sends home each year). We'll show you where they'd stand at schools across the state.
How we calculate this: Mississippi publishes the percentage of students at each school who reach Proficient (Level 4) or Advanced (Level 5) on the state's MAAP test, but not the per-student distribution. We compare your child's level to those school averages — so we can tell you what share of students at any school are at or above your child's level, but not your child's exact statewide rank.
💡 Tip: Click any school pin for details. From the pop-up, hit ＋ Add to compare on 2–4 schools to see them side by side.
Pins show each school placed at its district's approximate location. Precise per-school addresses will be added in the next data update.
Does more spending buy better schools?
Each dot is one Mississippi school district, grouped into a column by its average school grade. The vertical axis shows per-pupil spending. Hover any dot to see the district name.
