Summary:

Dyllis Springs Elementary is a public elementary school in Oliver Springs, Tennessee, serving 354 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Roane County School District, which is ranked 53 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Dyllis Springs Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the Roane County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 57.2% of Dyllis Springs students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 43.2% in Roane County and 39.7% statewide. The school's student population is predominantly white, with over 94% of students identifying as white, which is notably different from the more diverse nearby schools like Glenwood Elementary and Willow Brook Elementary.

Dyllis Springs Elementary performs particularly well for male students and special education students, ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. However, the school's performance for female students and white students is not as strong, ranking in the middle 50% of Tennessee elementary schools. This suggests that while Dyllis Springs is an academically excellent school overall, there may be some equity issues that need to be addressed to ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
