J E Woody Elementary

Summary:

J E Woody Elementary is a public elementary school in Mt Pleasant, Tennessee, serving around 550 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Maury County school district.

J E Woody Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing both the Maury County district and the state of Tennessee in proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 47.5% of J E Woody students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 30.1% for Maury County and 37.6% for Tennessee. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top half or top third of Tennessee elementary schools for these groups. This success may be partly attributed to the school's higher per-student spending of $11,227 in 2020-2021, compared to nearby schools.

While J E Woody Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school, it is not the top performer in the immediate vicinity. J E Woodard Elementary, about 6.65 miles away, consistently outperforms J E Woody in academic proficiency across multiple subjects and grade levels. Additionally, there are still opportunities for J E Woody to improve, particularly in areas where it lags behind the state or nearby schools, such as 4th-grade mathematics and science proficiency.

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.
