Rebel Bert Posted December 26, 2025 Share Posted December 26, 2025 Mississippi Department of Education posted the numbers of 2025-26. So, I looked at some numbers, a number of schools at the top and bottom of each larger classes and here what is interesting: Looking at 8th -- 10th grades 7A: Greenville has a large 9th grade of nearly 500 students. Total numbers should be around 995. They are moving up. The class should return to 24 schools. Meridian will remain. Pearl and Murrah will drop to 6A. And yes I looked at the new JPS feeder patterns from middle school to high school. I feel comfortable to say all JPS schools will be down in numbers as will many public schools. South Jones will be at the bottom of 6A and Neshoba Central along with Gautier will drop to 5A. Corinth and Greenwood will move up to 6A. Sumrall, Lanier, and Purvis will drop to 4A. Being a small school guy I can give the 8th thru 10th grade numbers later. If I can just find the private school numbers it will be good.

It's one of those old school public academies like Culkin, Redwood, and Jett were. They could just turn it into a K-8 attendance center and move the high school teachers over to Collins so that way no one loses their job. It would definitely give Collins a little boost at the high school level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have pre-K thru 6th at the elementary and 7th thru the 12th at the high school. But Mt Olive folks fought the school board and the board voted 3-2 against closing Mt Olive. Know one Magee businessman that fought it and then moved his son the Simpson Academy. He was telling g people for the meeting no matter where they lived.

Rebel Bert Posted December 31, 2025 Author Share Posted December 31, 2025 I wonder if someone these kids at small schools that want to take advanced math and science classes that will help them in college if they able to get those classes. Especially if they want to chemical engineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
