Summary:
The 38381 zip code in Tennessee is home to a single public elementary school, Toone Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 221 students. While the school has a predominantly White student population, it has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools for the past three years and earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Toone Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in social studies and science but significant weaknesses in mathematics and English language arts (ELA). The school's mathematics proficiency rates range from just 5.6% to 42.3% across grade levels, well below state and district averages. ELA proficiency is more varied, with some grade levels performing above the state and district, while others fall behind. However, the school's social studies and science proficiency rates are generally higher, with several grade levels exceeding the state and district averages.
Despite the school's academic challenges, Toone Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning and support. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $11,864 is above the state average. By identifying and replicating the successful teaching practices in science and social studies, and focusing on improving instruction in mathematics and ELA, Hardeman County Schools may be able to help Toone Elementary make progress towards better student outcomes and a higher statewide ranking.
