State report card
Biloxi Junior High earned an A for 2025-26, with 486 of 700 possible points, in the Mississippi Department of Education’s results file, released Oct. 15, 2026. An elementary or middle school needed 402 points for a B and 457 for an A this year, according to the state’s guide to the system (PDF). The school also earned an A on the 2024-25 report card. The Biloxi Public School District as a whole earned an A for 2025-26.
From the school’s 2025-26 report card:
| Measure | Biloxi Junior High, 2025-26 |
|---|---|
| English proficiency | 52.0% |
| Math proficiency | 73.4% |
| Science proficiency | 75.4% |
| English growth, all students | 61.5% |
| Math growth, all students | 88.9% |
| Chronically absent students | 15.9% |
Mississippi grades every school and district from A to F. The state’s guide (PDF) says the grade for a school without a 12th grade counts proficiency and growth on state tests in English and math, with extra weight on the lowest-performing 25% of students, science and English learners’ progress. Because the writing part of the English test was field tested in 2026, the state used the higher of the 2025-26 or 2024-25 English results, and it says 2025-26 grades set a new baseline that “cannot be compared” to earlier years.
Attendance zone
The district has one junior high, so every address in the Biloxi Public School District is zoned for Biloxi Junior High. Its feeder school is Biloxi Upper Elementary, the district’s only school for fifth and sixth grade, and its students move up to Biloxi High.
The district’s boundary is not the same as the city limits: parts of north Biloxi, including most of Woolmarket, are in the Harrison County School District. The Biloxi district’s attendance zones page carries its street map (PDF), last revised July 18, 2011. To confirm an address, call Student Services at 228-374-1810, ext. 1125.
