Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County 4-8

Summary:

Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County K-8 is a public virtual elementary school located in White House, Tennessee, serving 1,478 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Johnson County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a virtual school, Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County K-8 consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools in academic measures. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies are significantly lower than the state averages, with particularly poor performance in Mathematics, where it ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools. The school's performance is also significantly lower for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 5-20% of Tennessee elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Robertson County and Sumner County school districts, such as Greenbrier Elementary, Beech Elementary, and Liberty Creek Elementary, generally outperform Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County K-8 across all academic measures. This suggests that the virtual school model may not be as effective in this particular context, and factors such as fluctuating student-teacher ratios and lower spending per student may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
