Summary:
The city of Covington, Tennessee is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a diverse student population and exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions and others facing challenges.
Among the top-performing schools is Austin Peay Elementary School, which boasts the highest proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science across all grade levels compared to the other elementary schools in the Tipton County district. Another high-achieving school is Charger Academy, which has the second-highest math proficiency and the highest science proficiency among the elementary schools, while also serving a majority African American student population.
In contrast, the Tipton County Alternative Learning Center faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages across all subjects. However, this school's very low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 suggests a focus on providing individualized attention and support for its students. Overall, the data reveals both high-performing and struggling schools in Covington, highlighting the need to understand the factors contributing to these disparities and identify strategies to raise achievement across the district.
