Gallatin Elementary School

Summary:

Gallatin Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is generally below the state average but above the district average. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students. Gallatin Elementary School has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.2% in the 2019-2020 school year to 43.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, although the rate has since decreased to 19.3% in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the higher spending per student, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.2 in the 2022-2023 school year is relatively low compared to the nearby schools, such as Galatia Elementary School, Carrier Mills-Stonefort Elementary School, and Norris City-Omaha Elementary School.

Overall, Gallatin Elementary School faces a number of challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than nearby schools, it still has significant room for improvement to better serve its students and community.

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.
