Summary:

The Tishomingo County School District in northeastern Mississippi serves roughly 2,844 students across six schools spanning grades K–12, and earns a 4-star rating that places it in the top third of Mississippi districts. The district presents a mixed picture: standout performances in end-of-course math and secondary science, but significant struggles in early-grade math and high school English. Every school has a majority of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (63.7% to 79.1%), and student-teacher ratios are low, from 10.1 to 14.1.

Belmont Schools, despite its alternative school classification, is the district's strongest academic performer, exceeding state averages in 3rd grade ELA, 8th grade math, Algebra I, and Biology, with large year-over-year gains in Algebra I (74.5% to 82.4%) and Biology (68.7% to 80.3%). Iuka Middle School is the most-improved school, rising from the 45th to the 66th percentile in state rankings, and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 16.7% along with strong 5th and 8th grade science scores. Tishomingo Elementary, despite having the highest poverty rate at 79.1% free/reduced lunch, beats state averages in 3rd grade ELA (67.7%), 5th grade science (75.0%), and 7th grade math (69.0%), and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.1.

The biggest concern is elementary math: Burnsville Elementary posts just 15.6% proficiency in 6th grade math and 27.5% in 5th grade math, while Iuka Elementary sits at 27.8% in 3rd grade math — all far below state averages. The exception is Algebra I, where the district reaches 81.7% proficiency versus 66.0% statewide. Tishomingo County High School has the district's highest graduation rate (91.3%) and strong Algebra I scores, but English II proficiency dropped to 37.8% and chronic absenteeism is the worst in the district at 30.9%. School rankings diverge sharply, from Iuka Middle at the 66th percentile down to Burnsville Elementary at the 25th percentile, showing that school-level practices matter as much as community context. While the district's overall rating is solid, individual school choice matters greatly, with Iuka Middle and Belmont Schools leading the way and elementary math requiring the most urgent attention.
