Westover Elementary

Summary:

Westover Elementary is a public school in Huron, Tennessee, serving 587 students in grades PK-8 and is part of the Henderson County School District. While the school's academic performance has been mixed compared to state and district averages, it has some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

Westover Elementary's performance on state assessments has fluctuated, with the school ranking between 207 and 457 out of around 1,000 Tennessee elementary schools in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts have been lower than the Henderson County average, but higher in Science and Social Studies. Interestingly, the school's low-income students perform better than the overall student population, which may be due to the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio.

Compared to nearby schools, Westover Elementary generally outperforms Beaver Elementary and South Haven Elementary, but lags behind the high-performing Jacks Creek Elementary in the neighboring Chester County School District. Additionally, Westover Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to the performance gaps between different student subgroups.

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.
