Summary:
The 38921 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the East Tallahatchie Consolidated School District. While Charleston High School is the strongest performer of the three, with a 1 out of 5 star rating, the schools in this area are generally struggling, with test scores well below state averages.
All three schools have extremely high poverty levels, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student populations are predominantly African American, ranging from 80.66% at Charleston Elementary to 92.73% at Charleston High School. Spending per student is above the state average, but this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
The data highlights the need for significant interventions and support to help turn around the performance of these schools. Improving teacher quality, implementing targeted learning programs, and addressing socioeconomic barriers to student success should be key priorities for the East Tallahatchie Consolidated School District. Without such efforts, the students in this area will continue to struggle to meet state standards and reach their full potential.
