Summary:
Walland, Tennessee is home to a single elementary school, Walland Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other elementary schools in Blount County and across the state of Tennessee, with low proficiency rates in core academic subjects and a declining statewide ranking over the past three years.
Despite spending more per student than the national average, Walland Elementary School has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its 294 students, 81.97% of whom are White. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science all fall below 40%, with some grades performing as low as 11.4% proficient in mathematics. This poor academic performance has led to the school receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, ranking it in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools.
The data suggests that Walland Elementary School is a struggling institution that is not meeting the needs of its students. With declining test scores, a falling statewide ranking, and high spending-to-outcome ratios, the school may need to re-evaluate its educational practices and resource allocation to improve student outcomes and better serve the Walland community.
