Elementary Schools in Humboldt City Schools

The Humboldt City Schools district in Tennessee is home to two elementary schools: East Elementary School and Stigall Primary School. Both schools are struggling academically, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests and poor rankings compared to other schools in the state. The Humboldt City Schools district as a whole is ranked 138 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district is performing poorly overall.

East Elementary School and Stigall Primary School both have a majority African American student population, with East Elementary School at 68.41% and Stigall Primary School at 63.41%. This raises potential equity concerns, as the low academic performance of these schools may suggest underlying issues within the district. Interestingly, Stigall Primary School has a slightly more diverse student body, with 9.35% Hispanic students and 5.69% students of two or more races, compared to East Elementary School's 7.27% Hispanic students and 2.05% students of two or more races.

The funding and resource allocation within the district also raises questions, as Stigall Primary School has a higher spending per student ($13,031) compared to East Elementary School ($11,394), but a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.9 compared to East Elementary School's 16.2. This suggests that the district may not be effectively distributing its resources to support the academic needs of its students across both schools.
