Lafayette High School is the Lafayette County School District’s only high school, for ninth through 12th grade. Its campus on Commodore Drive is inside the Oxford city limits, according to the Census Bureau’s geocoder, but the district serves rural Lafayette County, not most of the city: its students come from communities such as Harmontown, Paris, Tula and Burgess, according to the district’s about page. The teams are the Commodores.

State report card

Lafayette High earned a B for 2025-26, with 765 of 1,000 possible points, in the Mississippi Department of Education’s results file, released Oct. 15, 2026. A high school needed 689 points for a B and 769 for an A this year. The Lafayette County School District as a whole earned an A with 703 points.

From the same file and the school’s report card:

Mississippi grades every school and district from A to F. The state says the grade counts test scores in English, math and science, how much students improve from one year to the next, with extra weight on the lowest-performing 25% of students, English learners’ progress and, for high schools, the graduation rate and a readiness index of ACT, SAT and WorkKeys results, advanced courses and diploma endorsements, according to its guide to the system (PDF). The state raised the bar this year, and it says 2025-26 grades set a new baseline that “cannot be compared to grades for previous school years.”

Attendance zone

The county district runs one school for each grade band on its Commodore Drive campus and on F.D. “Buddy” East Parkway, so every district student in ninth through 12th grade is assigned to Lafayette High. Its feeder school is Lafayette Middle School, for seventh and eighth grade.

The district answers “Where are the boundaries?” with its boundaries map (PDF), which shades the Oxford School District area apart from the five county school board districts. Most city addresses are in the Oxford School District, but some land inside the city limits, mostly on the northwest side, is in the county district, according to the Census Bureau’s school district map. Confirm an address with the Lafayette County Tax Assessor at 662-234-5562. We found no boundary change approved by the school board.
