Summary:
The Tishomingo County Sp Mun School District in Mississippi operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from diverse economic backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in the district, Belmont School, an alternative school, boasts some of the highest test scores, outperforming the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, despite having a very high percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch. Tishomingo County High School is also a top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in the state, with strong results on end-of-course exams. Additionally, Iuka Elementary School stands out for its academic excellence, ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Mississippi and exceeding district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
However, the data also reveals disparities in academic performance, with some schools, such as Burnsville Elementary and Iuka Middle School, struggling to meet proficiency standards. Additionally, the district's high poverty levels, with all schools having extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support services to address the challenges faced by these economically disadvantaged students.
