Summary:
The city of Huntsville, Tennessee is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the schools, with Fairview Elementary standing out as a high-performing outlier, while Scott High School and Huntsville Middle School struggle to meet state and county benchmarks.
Fairview Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Scott County, with a 4-star rating and significantly higher proficiency rates than the state and county averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Scott High School appears to be a lower-performing school, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools and receiving only 1-2 stars from SchoolDigger.
The Huntsville schools have a predominantly white student population, with minority representation being low. This lack of diversity may be a factor to consider in the schools' performance and the experiences of minority students. Additionally, the per-student spending varies considerably, with Fairview Elementary receiving significantly more funding than the other schools, which could contribute to the performance differences observed.
