Summary:
The Tipton County school district in Tennessee is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share a common district, their academic performance and student demographics vary significantly. Atoka Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools and outpacing the county and state averages in math and English language arts. In contrast, schools like Charger Academy and Crestview Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the county and state averages.
The racial composition of the schools also varies, with Atoka Elementary and Munford Elementary having predominantly white student populations, while Crestview Elementary and Charger Academy have higher percentages of African American students. This suggests that socioeconomic factors and resource allocation may play a role in the disparities observed in academic performance across the Tipton County school district.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student, ranging from $8,753 at Atoka Elementary to $13,414 at Austin Peay Elementary School. Additionally, student-teacher ratios vary from 13.4 at Charger Academy to 17.0 at Atoka Elementary. These factors may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance and highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the district.
