Summary:
Tupelo Public School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Tupelo High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a significant economically disadvantaged population, with 99.85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While Tupelo High School's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas performing better than the district and state averages, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the past three years.
Tupelo High School's academic performance is a concern, as its proficiency rates in Algebra I, English II, and Biology are lower than the district and state averages. However, the school performs better than the district and state in U.S. History. The school's per-student spending of $9,160 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1 suggest that the level of resources available may be impacting the school's ability to support its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Overall, the analysis of Tupelo Public School District's high school highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's declining performance and the strategies that can be implemented to address the academic challenges faced by its students. Improving the school's academic performance and providing targeted support to its economically disadvantaged population should be a priority for the district.
