Welcome to the home of the Blues

Laidback • Suburban • Affordable • Commuter •

There’s nothing quite like coming home to a peaceful, welcoming suburb. West Point is a laidback city offering great public schools and affordable rentals. The community here is all about a family-friendly atmosphere and small-town charm. Many local businesses can be found along Main Street, and Highways 50 and 25 keep West Point commuter-friendly.

In fact, West Point is about two miles northwest of Columbus and 20 miles northeast of Starkville, the happening home of Mississippi State University. Though it’s a great advantage for residents to be able to travel into nearby, larger cities for work or entertainment reasons, West Point has some historic charm to share with locals and visitors alike. Check out the Mississippi Blues Trail after you find your reasonably priced rental. It will take you along the journey of this historic music genre right in the place where it all began!

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
