Pickett County

Pickett County, Tennessee is home to two public schools - Pickett County Elementary and Pickett County High School. While both schools serve the students of Pickett County, the data suggests they are performing below state averages on most academic metrics, indicating a need for improvement in student outcomes.

Pickett County Elementary is ranked 721 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a majority white student population (97.98%) and lags behind state averages in proficiency for Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies. Pickett County High School, on the other hand, is ranked 135 out of 374 Tennessee high schools and has a 3-star rating. While the high school performs better than the elementary school in certain subject areas like Biology I and English II, it still falls short of state averages in Algebra I, Algebra II, and English I.

A common challenge facing both Pickett County schools is the high student-teacher ratio, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population, with over 96% of students being white, may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Without data on the socioeconomic status of the student population, it's difficult to fully understand the challenges facing the district. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Pickett County have room for improvement and could benefit from additional resources, teacher support, and targeted interventions to enhance student outcomes.
