Summary:
The city of Humboldt, Tennessee is home to three schools: two elementary schools (East Elementary School and Stigall Primary School) and one high school (Humboldt Junior/Senior High School). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools in the Humboldt City Schools district are performing well below state averages on academic measures.
The low proficiency rates, with only 8.8% of students at East Elementary School proficient in Mathematics and 14.2% in English Language Arts, and similarly dismal results at Humboldt Junior/Senior High School, suggest systemic issues within the district. The schools' rankings, with East Elementary School ranked 961 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and Humboldt Junior/Senior High School ranked 325 out of 374 Tennessee high schools, further highlight the need for significant improvement.
The high percentage of African American students, ranging from 63.41% at Stigall Primary School to 74.06% at Humboldt Junior/Senior High School, and the likely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggest that the Humboldt school district may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement. Addressing these disparities and providing equitable educational opportunities for all students should be a top priority for the district.
