Summary

Tishomingo County High School is a public high school in Iuka, Mississippi, serving 578 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Tishomingo County School District.

The school's most striking academic feature is the wide gap between math and English performance. On the 2025–2026 MAAP assessments, 81.3% of students scored proficient in Algebra I—more than 15 points above the state average and the strongest result among traditional 9–12 high schools in the area. However, only 37.8% of students scored proficient in English II, the lowest among nearby schools and nearly 12 points below the state average. That is a 43.5-point internal gap, far larger than any neighboring school. For context, New Site High School posted 70.9% proficiency in English II and Booneville High School reached 62.3%. English II also fell sharply from 57.8% the previous year, while Algebra I has stayed consistently strong for four straight years.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, at 30.9% in 2023–2024, well above the state rate of 23.9% and higher than New Site (19.6%) and Booneville (24.0%). Despite this, the graduation rate is 91.3%, above the state average of 89.2%, though it trails several local schools like Biggersville High School and Alcorn Central High School, both at 94.3%. The school's ranking has slipped from the 87th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 52nd percentile for 2025–2026. Since poverty levels are similar to higher-performing nearby schools, attendance and instructional focus likely play a larger role in the school's academic challenges than socioeconomic status.
