Dayton

The Dayton area has a single public elementary school, Dayton City Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 848 students. The school is part of the Dayton District, which is ranked 37th out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Dayton City Elementary does not stand out as a top-performing school in the state, it has some positive metrics. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics (45.3%) and science (43.1%) are higher than the Tennessee averages, but its English Language Arts proficiency rate (41.1%) is lower than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1 is in line with the state average, and it spends $10,606 per student, which is also comparable to the state's average. However, the school's overall ranking of 445th out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and its 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest there is room for improvement.

Dayton City Elementary has a diverse student population, with a predominantly White student body (75.35%) and significant Hispanic (14.27%) and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school has maintained a consistent performance over the past few years, but further analysis would be needed to understand the factors contributing to its academic outcomes and identify areas for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts.
