Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the city of Charleston, Mississippi - Charleston Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the East Tallahatchie Consol School District. Based on the available data, Charleston Middle School appears to be a consistently low-performing institution, ranking in the bottom quartile of Mississippi middle schools over the past three school years and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic achievement is significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.4% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.3%. The school's highest proficiency rate was in 5th-grade Science at 51.9%, but this is still well below the state average of 66.3%. Additionally, Charleston Middle School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite the consistently low performance, the data does not indicate any significant improvement in the school's rankings or academic achievement over the past three school years. This suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resources to identify areas for improvement and provide targeted interventions to address the learning gaps among its students.
