The schools in the Tatum school district have relatively small enrollments, ranging from 51 students at Tatum Junior High to 131 students at Tatum Elementary. This small school size may contribute to the favorable student-teacher ratios observed across the district, which range from 12.5 to 14 students per teacher. However, the schools also have high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could be an important consideration in understanding the schools' performance and needs.
