Summary:
The city of Philadelphia, Tennessee has only one school in the data set - Philadelphia Elementary, a public school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 511 students. The school is part of the Loudon County school district.
Philadelphia Elementary has a predominantly White student population (89.82%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (6.65%), two or more races (2.94%), African American (0.39%), and Asian (0.2%) students. The school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is mixed compared to the Loudon County and Tennessee state averages, with proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly below the county and state in mathematics and English language arts, but higher in science and lower in social studies. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the past few years, indicating that factors beyond just academic achievement may be influencing the school's performance.
Despite being located in a predominantly White area, Philadelphia Elementary has a relatively diverse student population. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.1 compared to the national average of around 16 students per teacher, and it spends $11,051 per student, which is higher than the national average of around $10,000 per student. These factors suggest that the school district is investing more resources into the education of its students.
