Summary

Belmont School is an alternative public school serving grades K-12 in the Tishomingo County Sp Mun School District in Belmont, Mississippi. With 844 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, Belmont School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 42nd out of 130 school districts in the state.

Belmont School stands out for its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.9% to 93.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of around 85%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in many subject areas and grade levels on the MAAP assessments, such as higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts for grades 4, 7, and 8, and in Mathematics for grades 4, 7, and 8. However, Belmont School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate between 22.1% and 25.9% compared to the state average of 15-20%, an area that could be targeted for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools like Tremont Attendance Center and Jumpertown High School, Belmont School generally outperforms them on test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, Tremont and Jumpertown have higher graduation rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Belmont School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with very high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 61.49% to 99.65%, which likely presents unique challenges and resource needs for the school.
