Summary:
The Lake County school district in Tennessee consists of three schools: Lara Kendall Elementary, Margaret Newton Elementary, and Lake County High School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that all three schools in the district are performing significantly below state averages, with each school ranked in the bottom 25% or lower of their respective school types in Tennessee.
Across the district, test scores are extremely low, with proficiency rates in math and English language arts well below state averages. For example, at Lara Kendall Elementary, only 15% of students are proficient in math and 23.7% in English, compared to state averages of 39.7% and 37.6% respectively. The schools also have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential equity issues that may be impacting student outcomes.
Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools in Lake County are still struggling to improve academic performance. This indicates a need to examine how resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning. Significant, targeted interventions and support will likely be required to drive meaningful improvements and better serve the students in this district.
