Tylertown Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Tylertown Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Tylertown, Mississippi, with an enrollment of 242 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Eva Gordon Upper Elementary, South Pike Junior High, West Marion Elementary, and North Pike Junior High School, Tylertown Elementary School is underperforming academically. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages, which may be influenced by the high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among the student population.

To address these challenges, the Walthall County School District and the school's leadership will need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve attendance, provide additional academic support, and address the impacts of poverty on student learning. By understanding the unique needs of Tylertown Elementary School and comparing it to its nearby counterparts, the district can develop a more informed strategy to support the success of the school's students.
