Summary:
The East Tallahatchie Consol School District in Mississippi operates three schools: Charleston Elementary School, Charleston High School, and Charleston Middle School. The district is ranked 125 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating consistently low performance across all three schools.
The schools in the East Tallahatchie Consol School District face significant challenges, with all three institutions underperforming the state average on standardized tests, including the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program). For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Charleston Elementary School's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was just 26.7%, compared to the state average of 49.4%. Additionally, the district's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9%, may be contributing to the low academic achievement.
Despite the low student-teacher ratios, which range from 11.4 at Charleston High School to 15.7 at Charleston Middle School, the schools have consistently underperformed for several years, with little to no improvement in test scores, graduation rates, or other key metrics. The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, 100% across all three schools, suggests that the district faces significant economic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.
