Bledsoe County

The Bledsoe County school district in Tennessee consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance, with Bledsoe County High School standing out as the top performer, while the elementary and middle schools show more varied results.

Bledsoe County High School is the clear standout, performing significantly above the state average in several subject areas, including an impressive 80% proficiency rate in 10th grade Biology compared to the state average of 36.5%. The high school also maintains a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.7 and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Tennessee high schools. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in Bledsoe County generally perform below the state average, with some exceptions like Pikeville Elementary, which ranks in the top 40% of Tennessee elementary schools and outperforms the state and county averages in several subject areas.

The data also reveals some potential equity concerns, as the lack of information on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations across the district. Additionally, the generally below-average test scores across the district suggest that there may be room for improvement in the quality of education provided in Bledsoe County schools. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the lower performance could help the district better support student learning and achievement.
