Tylertown Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Tylertown Elementary School is a grades 4–6 campus in Tylertown, Mississippi, serving 234 students within the Walthall County School District. The school operates in a high-poverty context, with 82.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025, and it is one of the smaller middle-level schools in the surrounding area. Despite its challenges, Tylertown Elementary has notable strengths that set it apart from nearby schools.

The school's most striking strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism has consistently stayed well below district and state averages, reaching just 15.1% in 2023-2024 compared with the state rate of 23.9%. Academically, Tylertown Elementary outperforms its closest peer, Eva Gordon Upper Elementary School, in five of seven same-grade subject comparisons, including a 17.8-point advantage in 5th grade ELA and an 18.5-point advantage in 5th grade math. Its 6th grade math proficiency rate of 40.8% exceeds the district average and far surpasses West Marion Middle School's rate of 25.9%.

The area of greatest concern is 4th grade mathematics, which fell from 36.4% proficiency in 2024-2025 to just 19.5% in 2025-2026. The school also has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools at 17.8, up from 14.2 two years earlier. On a more positive note, 5th grade reading and math improved sharply in the same year, and science scores have periodically exceeded district averages. Overall, Tylertown Elementary shows that even in a high-poverty setting, consistent attendance and targeted instruction can produce meaningful gains.
