Battle Creek Middle School

Q: Is Battle Creek Middle School a good school?

Battle Creek Middle School ranks 188 th of 587 Tennessee middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Battle Creek Middle School is a public middle school located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 677 students. The school is part of the Maury County School District, which is ranked 95 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Battle Creek Middle School consistently performs above the Maury County and Tennessee state averages in Mathematics and Science, with 41.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 48% proficient or better in Science, compared to 33.2% and 35.4% in the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong among African American and Hispanic students, ranking 74th and 119th out of Tennessee middle schools in these subgroups for Mathematics. However, the school's performance for Special Education students is an area of concern.

While Battle Creek Middle School outperforms the nearby Whitthorne Middle School, it lags behind the high-performing middle schools in the Williamson County School District, such as Spring Station Middle School, Thompson's Station Middle School, and Heritage Middle School. However, the school's significant population of economically disadvantaged students suggests that it is effectively supporting this subgroup, as their performance is generally on par with or better than the district and state averages.

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.
