Summary:
The schools in the 37887 zip code area consist of 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all of which have consistently underperformed compared to county and state averages on academic measures. These schools serve a predominantly white student population and face challenges in improving student outcomes.
The Central Elementary School, Central High School, and Central Middle School all have proficiency rates in core subjects that are significantly below the state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points. Additionally, these schools have consistently ranked in the bottom third of their respective school types in Tennessee, with 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Despite the relatively high spending per student and student-teacher ratios, the schools in the 37887 zip code area continue to struggle academically. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to address the root causes of the academic challenges. The lack of diversity in these schools may also be a contributing factor to the persistent underperformance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students in this area.
