Tylertown Elementary School

Summary:

Tylertown Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Tylertown, Mississippi, with a student population of 254. The school is part of the Walthall County School District and has a predominantly African American student body (81.89%).

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Tylertown Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 20% to 39.4% in English Language Arts, far below the state averages of 39.7% to 57.1%. The school also serves a population with extremely high poverty levels, with 98.75% to 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years. While the school's spending per student is higher than nearby schools like Eva Gordon Upper Elementary School and South Pike Junior High, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

The challenges faced by Tylertown Elementary School, including its consistently low test scores, high poverty levels, and the apparent disconnect between spending and student performance, suggest that a more comprehensive approach to addressing the unique needs of the student population may be necessary. Factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, and targeted interventions may need to be re-evaluated to help the school better support its students and improve their academic achievement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
