Summary

Tishomingo Elementary School is a small K–8 school in Tishomingo, MS, serving 254 students in the Tishomingo County School District, where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a notably low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1 — the lowest among all nearby schools — and chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically, from 32.6% in 2021-2022 to just 17.8% in 2023-2024, well below both the district (24.0%) and state (23.9%) averages. This combination of small classes and improving attendance suggests a supportive environment for students, even as the school works to raise academic performance.

Tishomingo Elementary currently ranks 184th of 377 Mississippi schools (51st percentile, 3 stars), making it the strongest-performing elementary school in the Tishomingo County School District — a 4-star district that ranks 42nd of 134 statewide — ahead of both Burnsville Elementary and Iuka Elementary. However, it trails several nearby out-of-district schools by a wide margin, including Marietta Elementary (82nd percentile), Hills Chapel School (74th percentile), Anderson Elementary (73rd percentile), and Fairview Attendance Center (67th percentile). Academically, the school roughly matches district averages in English Language Arts and math, and sits slightly above the state in ELA (50.2% vs. 47.1%), but falls noticeably below the state in mathematics (46.3% vs. 52.0%), a deficit that mirrors a district-wide challenge.

Within the building, results are mixed. Third-grade reading is a genuine bright spot at 67.7% proficient, as are 7th grade ELA (58.6%) and 7th grade math (69.0%), each well above state averages. Fifth-grade science has also been consistently strong. The biggest red flag is 8th grade ELA: only 29.1% of students were proficient, compared to 40.9% statewide and 50.8% in the district — a striking drop that also appears in 8th grade math and science when set against Burnsville Elementary. Early-grade math is another concern, with 3rd grade at 35.5% and 4th grade at 30.0% proficiency. Because the school's grade cohorts are small, scores can swing significantly from year to year, so these results should be read as useful signals rather than definitive trends.
