Summary:
The elementary schools in Campbell County, Tennessee serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, with a total of 8 schools in the district. These schools vary significantly in size, student demographics, academic performance, and funding levels, revealing potential inequities in the educational opportunities available to children in this area.
The largest and highest-performing school is Jacksboro Elementary, which has 650 students and the strongest test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, smaller schools like Elk Valley Elementary and White Oak Elementary struggle with lower test scores and higher per-student spending, suggesting potential resource disparities. The racial makeup of these schools is also overwhelmingly White, with the most diverse school, LaFollette Elementary, still having over 90% White students.
These findings highlight the need for further investigation into the factors driving the significant performance gaps between the elementary schools in Campbell County. Addressing issues of equity in funding, resources, and educational opportunities could help ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education, regardless of the school they attend.
