Summary:
The West Tallahatchie School District in Mississippi operates two schools: West Tallahatchie High School and R H Bearden Elementary School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on various metrics, including test scores, school rankings, and graduation rates.
West Tallahatchie High School ranked 182 out of 232 Mississippi high schools in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the MAAP assessments were significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Similarly, R H Bearden Elementary School ranked 310 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating, and its proficiency rates were also well below the state averages.
Both schools face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (23.9%) and 100% of their students being eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, the consistent low rankings and lack of improvement over the years suggest a need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across the West Tallahatchie School District.
