Summary:
The East Tallahatchie Consol School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Charleston High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data suggests that Charleston High School is facing significant challenges, with declining performance, large gaps in test scores, and a high-poverty student population.
Charleston High School had a 89.4% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year, which is a positive metric. However, the school had a relatively high 23.9% chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average. In terms of test scores, Charleston High School's proficiency rates were below the state averages in Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History, with the English II and Biology scores being significantly lower. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped from 145th out of 226 Mississippi high schools in 2022-2023 to 221st out of 232 in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in performance over time.
The data also shows that Charleston High School has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite this, the school has a relatively low 11.4 student-teacher ratio, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention to students. Overall, the data suggests that Charleston High School may require targeted interventions and support to improve its academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
