Best Public Schools in Hornbeak, TN


Summary:

The city of Hornbeak, Tennessee is home to a single public school, Black Oak Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 240 students. The school is part of the Obion County school district, which is ranked 25th out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Black Oak Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 279th out of 1,000 Tennessee elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 535th out of 1,008 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period. The school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing better than others. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 10.2 to 1, the data does not provide information on the school's free and reduced lunch rates, which could offer insights into the socioeconomic status of the student population.

The racial makeup of Black Oak Elementary is predominantly white, with 95.83% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may limit the exposure of students to different cultures and perspectives. Additionally, the school's declining performance and uneven academic results suggest the need for a more targeted approach to curriculum and instruction to address the specific strengths and weaknesses of the student population. Further analysis of the school's budget and spending priorities, as well as the underlying factors contributing to the decline in performance, could help identify areas for improvement and guide the school's efforts to better serve its students.
