Summary:
The city of Cosby, Tennessee is home to 4 public schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals that Cosby Elementary and Smoky Mountain Elementary are the standout schools in the area, outperforming the Cocke County and Tennessee averages in several subject areas. However, Cosby High School struggled in multiple subjects compared to county and state benchmarks.
The schools in Cosby have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 89.55% at Cosby Elementary to 95.51% at Smoky Mountain Elementary. This lack of racial diversity could indicate a need for more inclusive representation in the school system. Additionally, there is significant variation in per-student spending, with Jones Cove Elementary spending nearly twice as much as Cosby Elementary, raising questions about the equity of resource distribution and its potential impact on student outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that while some schools in Cosby are performing well, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of high school performance and ensuring equitable access to resources across all schools. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these challenges and provide a high-quality education for all students in the Cosby area.
