Burchfield Elementary

Summary:

Burchfield Elementary is a public school in Oneida, Tennessee, serving 480 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Burchfield Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.2% of Burchfield students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% statewide and 34.4% in the Scott County district. The school's white and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% and 40% of Tennessee elementary schools, respectively.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Burchfield Elementary is unable to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools in the Scott County district, such as Robbins Elementary, Fairview Elementary, and Winfield Elementary, generally perform better than Burchfield on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges at Burchfield may be unique to the school. Additionally, Elk Valley Elementary, a school in the neighboring Campbell County district, also struggles with low academic performance, indicating that the issues at Burchfield may be reflective of broader challenges in the region.

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.
