Summary:
The city of Madisonville, Tennessee is home to 5 schools serving grades 3-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. While the schools generally have a predominantly White student population, they face challenges with consistently low academic performance compared to state and county averages.
Sequoyah High School, the only high school in the district, has a diverse student body but struggles with below-average test scores, with only 35.4% of 10th graders proficient or better in Biology I and 15.6% proficient or better in Algebra II. In contrast, Madisonville Intermediate School, one of the two elementary schools, has a less diverse population but similarly low test scores, with only 30.7% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 31.3% in English Language Arts. The Monroe County Virtual School, the district's alternative school, has the lowest test scores, with only 7.3% of students proficient or better in English I and 13.3% in Science.
While the schools in Monroe County spend above the state average per student, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic challenges facing the district. The consistently low academic performance and lack of diversity across the schools suggest a need for the district to develop targeted strategies to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for all students in Madisonville.
