Richland School

Summary:

Richland School is a public high school located in Lynnville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 646. 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 School faces several challenges, including a declining performance trend, lower academic outcomes compared to nearby schools like Giles County High School, Lawrence County High School, and Summertown High School. The school's proficiency rates in subjects like Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages, with a particular weakness in Biology I. However, Richland School's low socioeconomic status students have performed relatively better, suggesting the school may be able to support these students more effectively.

Despite these challenges, Richland School's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 92nd to 279th out of Tennessee high schools and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 0 to 4 stars. This indicates the need for a more consistent and sustained approach to improving academic outcomes. By focusing on strengthening its science curriculum and instruction, particularly in Biology I, and leveraging the strengths of its low socioeconomic status students, Richland School may be able to improve its overall academic performance and better serve the needs of its diverse 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.
