Hermitage Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Hermitage Springs Elementary School is a public school in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, serving 217 students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages in core academic subjects, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools in recent years.

Hermitage Springs Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (25.6%) and English Language Arts (23.7%) significantly lower than the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, dropping from 298 out of 997 Tennessee elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 724 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools like Defeated Elementary and Celina K-8, Hermitage Springs Elementary School generally underperforms.

The school's low performance may be influenced by factors such as its rural location, limited resources, and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community. Interestingly, the school's low-socioeconomic status students have performed relatively better compared to the overall school performance, ranking in the top 50% of Tennessee elementary schools in Mathematics in 2022-2023. Addressing the unique needs of different student subgroups, such as the underperformance of female and White students, will be crucial in improving educational outcomes and providing a more equitable learning environment for all students at Hermitage Springs Elementary School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
