Summary:
The 38676 zip code area in Mississippi is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Rosa Fort High School, Tunica Middle School, and Tunica Elementary School. These schools, part of the Tunica County School District, serve a predominantly African American student population, with all three schools reporting over 92% African American enrollment.
Among the standout schools, Rosa Fort High School performs above the state average in several key subject areas, including Algebra I, U.S. History, and Biology. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 11.9, suggesting more personalized attention for students. In contrast, Tunica Middle School outperforms the state average in 7th and 8th grade Math assessments, with over 70% of students proficient in these subjects.
Despite these pockets of success, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the state averages on various assessments, with the schools generally underperforming. Additionally, all three schools have a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. The variation in spending per student, with the high school spending the most, suggests the need for further investigation into resource allocation and its impact on student outcomes. These findings highlight the challenges faced by these schools and the importance of targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 38676 zip code area.
