Richland Elementary

Summary:

Richland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lynnville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 524. The school is part of the Giles County School District, which is ranked 78 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Richland Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the Giles County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Richland Elementary had a 47.5% proficiency rate in Mathematics, compared to 39.2% for Giles County and 39.7% for the state. The school also ranks highly among Tennessee elementary schools for specific student groups, such as female students (ranked 179th out of 981 schools in 2023-2024) and special education students (ranked 141st out of 577 schools in 2023-2024).

Despite spending less per student ($8,920 in 2020-2021) than nearby Pulaski Elementary ($12,258) and Southside Elementary ($10,329), Richland Elementary maintains its academic success, potentially due to its higher student-teacher ratio of 14.7 in 2022-2023 compared to 12.4 at Pulaski Elementary and 13.8 at Southside Elementary. This suggests the school may be effectively allocating its resources to support student learning, and its academic performance could provide an opportunity for the district to explore collaboration and share best practices with nearby schools.

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.
