Summary:
The city of Grimsley, Tennessee has only one school in its data set - South Fentress Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 with 632 students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in some subject areas like 4th grade ELA and Science, but struggles in others like Mathematics and 8th grade ELA. Compared to Fentress County and Tennessee state averages, the school's proficiency rates vary significantly across grade levels and subjects.
South Fentress Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (94.62%), with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 576 out of 1,000 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 470 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, suggesting a need for improvement in overall academic performance.
With a relatively low spending per student of $10,121 and a high student-teacher ratio of 19.3 to 1, South Fentress Elementary School may face challenges in providing adequate resources and personalized attention to support student learning. To better understand the school's performance and identify areas for improvement, additional data on student growth metrics, attendance rates, and teacher qualifications would be helpful.
