Clarkrange High School

Summary:

Clarkrange High School is a public high school serving 260 students in grades 9-12 in Clarkrange, Tennessee, which is part of the Fentress County School District. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95-96%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Stone Memorial High School, Monterey High School, and Alvin C. York Institute.

Clarkrange High School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking ranging from 17th to 217th out of Tennessee high schools. While the school has shown strong performance for low-socioeconomic status students in certain years, its overall standardized test scores have been mixed, sometimes outperforming the state and county averages, but also underperforming in other areas. The school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggest that it may be effectively allocating resources, but it's important to analyze how these resources are being used to support student learning and outcomes.

Overall, Clarkrange High School appears to have both strengths and challenges. Its racial homogeneity and fluctuating academic performance suggest that the school may need to focus on improving equity, consistency, and overall academic excellence to better serve its students and community. By comparing Clarkrange High School to the nearby Cumberland County, Putnam County, and Alvin C York Institute districts, parents can gain a better understanding of how the school measures up in key areas.

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.
