Middle Schools in Tunica School District


Summary:

The Tunica County School District in Mississippi has only one middle school, Tunica Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data shows that this school is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state, with consistently low rankings and a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tunica Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science generally lower than the state averages, but some strengths in Mathematics, where the school has outperformed the state in certain grade levels. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 24%, which may be impacting student achievement.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor, Tunica Middle School appears to be struggling overall and could benefit from additional support and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by its disadvantaged student population and improve academic outcomes across all subject areas.
