Whiteville Elementary

Summary:

Whiteville Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Whiteville, Tennessee, with a student population of 215. The school is part of the Hardeman County Schools district, which is ranked 129 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whiteville Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (13.5%) and English Language Arts (8.7%) for all grades are less than half the state averages. This low academic performance is particularly pronounced for the school's African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups. Despite spending more per student than the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Whiteville Elementary is struggling to improve student outcomes.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Hardeman County district, such as Hornsby Elementary, Toone Elementary, and Grand Junction Elementary, generally outperform Whiteville Elementary on academic measures. Schools outside the Hardeman County district, such as East Side Elementary and Denmark Elementary, also tend to outperform Whiteville Elementary, despite serving similar student demographics.

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.
