Elementary Schools in Scott County

The elementary schools in Scott County, Tennessee serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade across 5 schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with Fairview Elementary consistently outperforming the other schools in the county, particularly in mathematics and science. Meanwhile, Burchfield Elementary struggles across multiple subject areas.

While Robbins Elementary has shown steady improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating over the past three years, the student population across these schools is predominantly white, ranging from 95.59% at Robbins Elementary to 98.85% at Fairview Elementary. This lack of racial diversity may warrant further investigation into the factors contributing to this demographic makeup and its potential impact on the educational experience and outcomes for students.

Spending per student varies across the schools, with Huntsville Elementary spending the least at $9,782 per student and Fairview Elementary spending the most at $11,690 per student. However, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding and student-teacher ratios may be contributing to the observed performance differences, and analyzing the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for the lower-performing schools to emulate.
