Henry Elementary

Summary:

Henry Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Henry, Tennessee, part of the Henry County School District. With fluctuating performance over the years, the school currently ranks 519 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and has a 2-star rating.

While Henry Elementary has a higher percentage of White students compared to the state average, it performs better for male students and low socioeconomic status students than the overall student body. However, the school's test scores in Mathematics (43.1%) and English Language Arts (25.7%) lag behind the Henry County and Tennessee state averages. When compared to nearby schools like Dorothy and Noble Harrelson School and Lakewood Elementary, both in the Henry County district, Henry Elementary generally performs worse on test scores and statewide rankings.

Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, Henry Elementary's academic performance has steadily declined over the years, suggesting that the school and district need to closely examine the factors contributing to these challenges and implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
