Russellville Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 3 years with a 4-star rating. The school's student performance on state assessments (TNReady) is significantly higher than the Hamblen County and Tennessee averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 57% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 53.8% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the county and state averages of around 37-40%.
While Russellville Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 83.33% White, 8.17% Hispanic, and 1.6% African American students, the school appears to be well-resourced, spending $11,335 per student and maintaining a student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1. This suggests a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. However, there may be opportunities to further support the learning of subgroups, such as Hispanic and African American students, who make up a smaller percentage of the population.
