Summary:
The city of Winchester, Tennessee is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance across these schools, with Broadview Elementary standing out as a high-performing outlier, while North Middle School and Franklin County High School struggle to meet state standards.
Broadview Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the Franklin County district and across Tennessee on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. In contrast, North Middle School and Franklin County High School have received low ratings and struggle with test scores that fall below district and state averages.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns, with Broadview Elementary having a much higher percentage of white students compared to the other schools in the district. Additionally, the relationship between spending per student and academic performance is not straightforward, as the highest-performing school, Broadview Elementary, has a lower per-student spending than the lower-performing Clark Memorial School. Addressing the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools should be a priority for the Franklin County district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
