Summary:
Tyrrell County Schools has only one elementary school, Tyrrell Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in the rural Tyrrell County, North Carolina, the school faces challenges in academic performance compared to the state average.
Tyrrell Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 765 out of 1,502 North Carolina elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,155 out of 1,490 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with only 58.6% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Math and 20.7% in Reading in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 64.1% and 46.7%, respectively. However, the school's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8 in 2023-2024, may present opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions.
Tyrrell Elementary serves a predominantly low-income population, with 98.31% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This high poverty rate likely has a significant impact on the school's academic performance and may require additional support and resources to address the unique needs of the student body. Despite the challenges, the school's higher per-student spending of $14,570 in 2018-2019, compared to the state average, suggests a commitment to providing the necessary resources to support student learning.
