Best Public Schools in Byhalia, MS


Summary:

The city of Byhalia, Mississippi is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Byhalia Elementary School (K-4), Byhalia High School (9-12), and Byhalia Middle School (5-8). Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, poor school rankings, and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Across all three Byhalia schools, proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the Marshall County School District and state of Mississippi averages. The schools are also ranked in the bottom tiers of their respective categories, with Byhalia Elementary and Middle Schools receiving the lowest 0-star and 1-star ratings. These academic struggles are compounded by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with all three schools serving populations where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the Byhalia schools face significant challenges, the data suggests that a lack of resources may also be a contributing factor. Student-teacher ratios are relatively high, and per-student spending is lower than the state average. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes and provide the necessary support for the students in the Byhalia community.
