Tyrrell County Schools


Summary:

The Tyrrell County Schools district in North Carolina consists of three small schools: Columbia High School, Tyrrell Elementary School, and Columbia Middle School. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 96.74% to 98.45%.

Despite relatively high spending per student, the schools in the Tyrrell County Schools district consistently underperform compared to state averages. Columbia High School and Tyrrell Elementary School are ranked in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in North Carolina, with concerning test scores and proficiency rates well below state averages. Columbia Middle School also struggles, with inconsistent academic performance and a statewide ranking in the bottom quarter of North Carolina middle schools.

The small enrollments, ranging from 92 students at Columbia Middle School to 193 students at Columbia High School, may be a concern, as it could impact the availability of resources and educational opportunities for students. The data suggests that the Tyrrell County Schools district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and strategies may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
