Perry Co School District

What Perry Co School District does

Perry County School District is a rural Mississippi public school district serving approximately 850 students across five campuses: Perry Central High School, Perry Central Middle School, Runnelstown Elementary, South Perry Elementary, and the Perry County Vocational Complex. The district is led by Superintendent Dr. Titus M. Hines and employs roughly 90 teachers, operating within a state-mandated attendance zone that constitutes its full addressable market under Mississippi's compulsory education framework.

Revenue is derived almost entirely from public sources. The Mississippi Department of Education provides approximately $6.42 million in state funding for the 2024-2025 fiscal year through the state's per-pupil funding formula, supplemented by federal Title I, II, III, and IV allocations and meal program receipts. The district does not charge tuition and has no commercial product lines. Its operating footprint is geographically fixed by law and by the rural nature of Perry County, leaving no room for organic geographic expansion but also creating a structural monopoly within its territory.

The district's technology stack is administrative and communicative rather than instructional. Platforms such as Active Parent/Student handle parent communication, Clever manages identity and single sign-on, Incident IQ tracks facilities and IT work orders, and Marathon handles inventory and asset management. The district partners with Kelly Education for substitute teacher staffing and has achieved a state accountability rating of B (improved from C) with a 78% graduation rate. There is no evidence of AI, machine learning, or predictive analytics deployment in instructional or operational contexts.
