Elementary Schools in East Tallahatchie School District

Summary:

The East Tallahatchie Consol School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Charleston Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 10% of Mississippi elementary schools over the past three years.

Charleston Elementary School's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.7% of 3rd graders and 23.4% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 49.4% and 52.1%, respectively. Similarly, only 25% of 3rd graders and 21.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.3% and 56.6%.

The school faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (100% in 2023-2024) and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that Charleston Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its students and improve academic outcomes.
