Summary:
The 37178 zip code area has only one school, Tennessee Ridge Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 200 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. Tennessee Ridge Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics (35.4%) and English Language Arts (34.3%) for the 2023-2024 school year were significantly lower than the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively.
The school's student population is predominantly white, with 87% of students identifying as white, and a relatively small percentage of minority students. This lack of diversity may have implications for the school's learning environment and the experiences of students from different backgrounds. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $11,600 for the 2020-2021 school year is a relevant metric, but without additional context, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the adequacy of the school's funding and resources.
The concerning trend of Tennessee Ridge Elementary's declining performance is also evident, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 520 out of 1,000 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 725 out of 1,020 in 2022-2023. This decline in performance relative to other elementary schools in Houston County warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for the students at this school.
