From Birth to Career - Education Is Covered!

K-12

Let's do the math.

84,000 Students ÷ 129 Schools + 12 School Districts ÷ 6 Counties = 1 workforce in training. Future employers and employees are graduating every year from our local schools. They're enrolled in International Baccalaureate courses and Academic and Performing Arts Complex courses--all while learning a trade in various career tech schools.

The results are enough to make any parent proud. The A-rated Clinton Public School District has maintained the best and most improved state testing scores in the state for several years. Meanwhile, the Jackson Public School District's Northwest Middle School has donned the honor of being named one of the 50 Best Middle Schools in the Nation.

Higher Education

With a collective student population twice that of any of the big three Mississippi universities and more degree programs offered than any other county in the state, Hinds County provides a richly diverse choice of private and public schools, networking, internship and job opportunities within Mississippi's largest business community.
