Summary:
The schools in Obion County, Tennessee, consist of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals significant variations in academic performance across the schools, with some standouts like Obion County Central High School and South Fulton Middle / High School performing above the county and state averages, while others like Ridgemont Elementary struggle in certain subject areas.
The racial demographics of the schools also vary, with Hillcrest Elementary having the highest percentage of white students (94.28%) and Ridgemont Elementary having the most diverse student population (60.42% white, 30.61% Hispanic). This suggests a potential correlation between the racial/ethnic composition of a school and its academic performance, which warrants further investigation to understand the underlying drivers.
The data also highlights the importance of effective middle school instruction, as evidenced by the strong performance of South Fulton Middle / High School in mathematics. Additionally, the wide disparities in performance across schools, particularly in subjects like mathematics and English language arts, raise questions about equity of educational opportunities and outcomes for all students in Obion County.
