Context matters here. About 36.84% of students (roughly 161 of 437) received free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $13,629 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 12.4 — about 35 teachers — though no district or state comparisons are provided for those figures. Because this zip code has only one high school, and district metrics mirror the school's, there is no within-area peer school to compare against; Tipton High School essentially represents the area's entire high-school profile.
