Summary:
The city of Lafayette, Tennessee is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area show a range of performance, with some standouts like Central Elementary and Macon County High School outperforming the Macon County and Tennessee averages in several test score categories, while others like Lafayette Elementary School struggle.
Central Elementary stands out with a 3-star rating and a ranking of 335 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools, as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3. Macon County High School is also a top performer, ranking 110 out of 374 Tennessee high schools with a 4-star rating and a diverse student population with 15.41% Hispanic and 0.41% African American students.
The data suggests that the middle school years are crucial, as Macon County Junior High School had higher proficiency rates than the Macon County and Tennessee averages in Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. However, the lack of free/reduced lunch data makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations and potential equity issues within the Lafayette area.
