North Tippah School District

The North Tippah School District in Mississippi consists of 3 schools, including 1 elementary school and 2 alternative schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 50 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the schools in the district, Chalybeate Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on MAAP assessments. The school is ranked in the top half of Mississippi elementary schools and has a particularly strong performance in Science proficiency. In contrast, the two alternative schools, Falkner Attendance Center and Walnut Attendance Center, generally perform below the district and state averages, with Walnut Attendance Center showing stronger results in Mathematics and End-of-Course exams.

Across the district, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 82.48% to 97.37% white students, with relatively low percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, all three schools have very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These demographic and socioeconomic factors may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed between the schools in the North Tippah School District.
