Summary:
The city of Mascot, Tennessee has only one school in the data set - East Knox Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 516 students. The school's performance is significantly below the Knox County district and Tennessee state averages across key metrics like mathematics, English language arts, and science proficiency.
East Knox Elementary's mathematics proficiency rate is just 23.7%, compared to 40.3% in Knox County and 39.7% statewide. Similarly, its English language arts proficiency is 25.3%, below the 41.2% district and 37.6% state averages. The school's science proficiency of 29.7% also lags behind the 47% district and 44% state levels. Additionally, East Knox Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 609 out of 1,000 schools in 2021-2022 to 814 out of 1,008 in the most recent school year, with its rating dropping from 2 stars to 1 star out of 5.
Another area of concern is the lack of diversity at East Knox Elementary, where 88.18% of students are white, with small percentages of African American (4.07%) and Hispanic (6.4%) students. This lack of diversity may have implications for the school's culture, curriculum, and support for students from diverse backgrounds. Overall, the data suggests that East Knox Elementary is underperforming and may need to implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and address the school's declining performance and ranking.
