Elkton Elementary

Summary:

Elkton Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Elkton, Tennessee, part of the Giles County School District. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, it currently faces several challenges in terms of academic performance compared to state averages and nearby schools.

Elkton Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (71.48%) compared to surrounding schools like Ralph Askins School (51.71% White) and Southside Elementary (61.37% White). However, the school's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the Giles County and Tennessee state averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (31.8%) and English Language Arts (31.2%) significantly below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively.

Interestingly, Elkton Elementary's ranking for economically disadvantaged students is significantly higher than its overall ranking, suggesting the school is doing a relatively better job of supporting the academic achievement of this subgroup. However, the school's overall declining performance over the years and lower proficiency rates compared to nearby schools like Minor Hill School, Unity School, and Blanche School indicate that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve the academic achievement of its student population.

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.
