Summary:
The city of Sarah, Mississippi is home to two schools - Strayhorn Elementary School and Strayhorn High School, both part of the Tate County School District. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school faces challenges in meeting academic benchmarks.
Strayhorn Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in most grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, higher than the 2-star rating for the overall Tate County School District. Additionally, Strayhorn Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to the high school.
In contrast, Strayhorn High School appears to be performing below the district and state averages in many academic areas, with lower proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subjects. The high school has a 68.6% free/reduced lunch rate, higher than the 72.64% at the elementary school, and a less favorable student-teacher ratio of 15 compared to 13.4 at the elementary school. These factors may be contributing to the high school's lower academic performance.
