Tylertown High School

Summary:

Tylertown High School is a public high school in Tylertown, Mississippi, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 509. Despite being part of the Walthall County School District, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tylertown High School faces several key challenges that contribute to its poor performance. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (81.34%) compared to the state average, and its students consistently underperform the state and district averages on MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests. Additionally, over 99% of Tylertown High School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's spending per student ($10,117) is slightly lower than the state average, its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 suggests that the performance issues are not due to a lack of individual attention.

Compared to nearby schools, such as West Marion High School and South Pike Senior High School, Tylertown High School's performance is the poorest, with all three schools struggling to meet academic standards. This suggests that the challenges facing Tylertown High School may be reflective of broader educational issues in the region, which will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address the persistent underperformance, racial disparities, and economic disadvantages faced by the school's student population.

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.
