Midtown Public Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi middle schools, with its performance on state assessments (MAAP) significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 13.7% to 50% in English Language Arts and 19% to 42.4% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37.3% to 55.9% in ELA and 47.5% to 56.6% in Mathematics. The school's performance has declined or remained stagnant over the past few years, with proficiency rates in many subjects dropping below 20%. Additionally, Midtown Public Charter School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 31.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

The fact that 100% of Midtown Public Charter School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a high-poverty community, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources. The fluctuating student-teacher ratio at the school, ranging from 8.4 to 12.7 students per teacher over the past few years, could be an indicator of staffing challenges or changes in enrollment, which may impact the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.
