The Hazlehurst City School District is a public school district based in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, United States. The 3 schools are Hazlehurst Elementary, Hazlehurst Middle and Hazlehurst High.
History In 2008, the Mississippi state government assumed management of the district due to poor performance. Jackie Mader of The Hechinger Report stated that the district "was in chaos and suffering from abysmal academic performance". Circa 2014 the state was planning to allow an elected school board to once again assume control. According to Mader, academic performance had improved during the state takeover period, but there were "inconsistent and often lackluster results".
