District-Level NCES Analysis
Forrest County Ag High School operates 1 public schools serving 611 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Mississippi. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,457 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 147 Mississippi districts by per-pupil spending. See how Mississippi compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 31.9% local, 46.4% state, and 21.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 34/100, ranked #113 of 146 in Mississippi against a state average of 51, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 281:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 43.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.2% White, 27.8% African American, 6.0% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Forrest County Agricultural Hi Sch accounts for 92.0% of all Forrest County Ag High School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Forrest County Ag High School a distant remainder — means Forrest County Ag High School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Forrest County Ag High School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 67.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Forrest County Ag High School student-counselor ratio is 281:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Forrest County Ag High School is typically wider than the Forrest County Ag High School-aggregate figure suggests.
Forrest County Ag High School chronic absenteeism rate is 43.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
