Mississippi’s Educational Landscape and Opportunities

Mississippi has 527 high schools, with the majority being public institutions. The state’s high school graduation rate stands at 85%, on par with the national average. Students are required to earn 24 credits to graduate, covering core subjects like English, math, and science, along with career and technical education (CTE) opportunities.

While Mississippi faces some educational challenges, students benefit from dual-enrollment programs that allow them to earn college credits while in high school. Many graduates continue their education at top in-state colleges such as the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, and Jackson State University. Excel High School offers a nationally accredited alternative, ensuring students have the flexibility and support they need to achieve their educational goals.
