Ramer Elementary

Summary:

Ramer Elementary is a public elementary school in Ramer, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 380. The school is part of the McNairy County School District, which is ranked 85 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ramer Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.58%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like West Hardin Elementary and Adamsville Elementary. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (33.2%) and English Language Arts (31.5%) are lower than the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. Additionally, Ramer Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 181 out of 646 Tennessee elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to being ranked 599 out of 1008 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating).

While Ramer Elementary performs better for low socioeconomic status students, it lags behind in performance for female, male, and white student groups compared to the state averages. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly for its predominantly white student population. Compared to the nearby schools in the Hardin County and Hardeman County Schools districts, Ramer Elementary generally performs worse in academic subjects, with lower proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

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.
