Monteagle Elementary

Summary:

Monteagle Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Monteagle, Tennessee, with a student population of 224. While the school faces academic challenges compared to state and district averages, it shows some strengths in supporting its low-income students.

Monteagle Elementary's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 295 out of 646 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 803 out of 985 in 2018-2019. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like Math, English, and Science are generally below the Marion County and state averages. However, the school performs better in Social Studies, with 50% of students proficient or better, compared to 47.4% in Marion County and 45.3% statewide. Interestingly, Monteagle Elementary's low-income students perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years.

The school's predominantly White student population, ranging from 92.41% to 95.1% over the past three years, may indicate demographic shifts in the local community. While the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio could be contributing factors to the strong performance of low-income students, the lack of significant academic improvements over time suggests that Monteagle Elementary may need to explore targeted interventions to address its overall academic challenges. Nearby schools like Swiss Memorial Elementary, Jasper Elementary School, and Decherd Elementary may provide useful comparisons and insights for the school's improvement efforts.

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.
