Summary:
The 37826 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Niota Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 517 students. While the school has a diverse student body, with representation from various racial and ethnic groups, its academic performance consistently lags behind the county and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.
Niota Elementary's proficiency rates on the TNReady assessments range from 7.8% to 33.9% in mathematics, 15.5% to 27.6% in English Language Arts, and 15.5% to 43.1% in science, placing the school in the bottom quarter of McMinn County elementary schools. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($10,555) and lower student-teacher ratio (15.2), these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
The data suggests that Niota Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. While the school has access to resources, its consistent underperformance on standardized tests indicates a need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to address the underlying issues, such as targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and a review of curriculum and instructional practices.
