Mooresburg Elementary

Summary:

Mooresburg Elementary is a public elementary school in Mooresburg, Tennessee, serving 190 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hawkins County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 139 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Mooresburg Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.47%) compared to the more diverse student populations in surrounding schools like Lincoln Heights Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary, its academic performance as measured by TNReady test scores is generally lower than state and county averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (31%), English Language Arts (34%), and Science (38%) were all below the state and county averages. Mooresburg Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated but has consistently been in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools.

While Mooresburg Elementary has a higher per-student spending ($14,416 in 2020-2021) and a lower student-teacher ratio (12.3 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools in this category, but overall, Mooresburg Elementary faces challenges in terms of racial diversity, inconsistent academic performance, and lower proficiency rates compared to the state and county averages.

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.
