Summary:
The city of Webb, Mississippi is home to a single high school, West Tallahatchie High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the state average. While the school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, it faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
West Tallahatchie High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 89.4%, slightly below the state average. The school's performance on the MAAP state assessments has ranged from 10.2% to 64.9% proficiency across different subject areas and grade levels, suggesting that the school may be struggling to effectively prepare its students for academic success.
The data indicates that West Tallahatchie School District, of which West Tallahatchie High School is a part, faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success, such as the high poverty and chronic absenteeism rates observed at the school.
