Summary

Tylertown High School is a public high school located in Tylertown, Mississippi, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 545 students. The school is part of the Walthall County School District. While the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools over the past several years, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key challenges facing Tylertown High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 16.0% to 23.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. This issue likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores that consistently lag behind state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Tylertown High School has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.42% to 100% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Tylertown High School to the nearby West Marion High School and South Pike Senior High School, it becomes evident that Tylertown is performing significantly worse academically. Both West Marion and South Pike have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Tylertown. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Tylertown High School, such as improving attendance and supporting economically disadvantaged students, will be crucial in order to improve the school's overall outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its students.
