Summary:
The city of Saltillo, Mississippi is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Saltillo Primary School and Saltillo Elementary School) and one high school (Saltillo High School) - all part of the Lee County School District. The data reveals that Saltillo High School is a standout, ranking 92 out of 228 Mississippi high schools and performing above state and district averages in several End of Course test subjects.
In contrast, the two elementary schools show more variation in performance. Saltillo Primary School stands out with a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and the highest spending per student at $8,020, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, Saltillo Elementary School had mixed results, with stronger performance in 3rd grade English Language Arts but lower scores in 5th grade Mathematics.
Across all three schools, the data reveals consistently high free/reduced lunch rates, exceeding 99%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the Saltillo community. This challenge may present unique obstacles for the schools, but the strong performance of Saltillo High School suggests the district and schools are finding ways to support student success despite these economic challenges.
