Summary:
The city of Kodak, Tennessee is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools generally perform below the Sevier County and Tennessee state averages on state assessments, Northview Primary stands out as the highest-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science compared to the other schools.
The middle schools (Northview Junior Academy and Northview Intermediate School) and the high school (Northview Senior Academy) all perform below the county and state averages, indicating a potential systemic issue or challenge that the district or schools need to address. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with notable Hispanic representation, but the data does not provide information on the performance of different racial/ethnic groups, so it's unclear if there are any achievement gaps that need to be addressed.
The data also suggests a potential relationship between spending and performance, as Northview Primary, the highest-performing school, also has the highest spending per student. However, the low School Digger ratings and overall poor performance of the schools may indicate broader issues with school climate, culture, or other factors that are not directly captured in the data, and further investigation would be necessary to understand these potential challenges.
