Summary:
The city of Decaturville, Tennessee is home to two schools: Riverside High School and Decaturville Elementary. While Riverside High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, Decaturville Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently outranking the Decatur County and Tennessee averages in academic subjects.
Decaturville Elementary, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, has demonstrated exceptional academic performance, with students outperforming their peers in mathematics, English language arts, and science. In contrast, Riverside High School has shown mixed results, with some subject areas performing above the state average while others fall below. The difference in academic performance may be attributed to the higher spending per student at Decaturville Elementary ($12,190) compared to Riverside High School ($10,047).
Another notable difference between the two schools is their racial diversity. Riverside High School has a more diverse student population, with 87.17% White, 2.83% African American, 6.96% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. Decaturville Elementary, on the other hand, has a student body that is 91.6% White.
