In 2019, the state Board of Education voted to take over the Humphreys County School District, as well as the Yazoo City School District, and incorporated them into a new statewide "achievement district" ; the move came after the school districts were rated as chronically underperforming in terms of student academic achievement.[3]
There were a total of 1,840 students enrolled in the Humphreys County School District during the 2006–2007 school year. The gender makeup of the district was 50% female and 50% male. The racial makeup of the district was 96.74% African American, 1.79% White, 1.41% Hispanic, and 0.05% Native American.[4] 94.2% of the district's students were eligible to receive free lunch.[5]
