Hamblen County Alternative School

Summary:

Hamblen County Alternative School is a small public alternative school in Morristown, Tennessee, serving grades K-12 with a diverse student population of 62 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the Hamblen County and Tennessee state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 8.7% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.8% in Hamblen County and 38.1% statewide. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.7 suggests a more personalized learning environment, but the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.

When compared to other alternative schools in the surrounding area, such as Washburn School and Clinch School, Hamblen County Alternative School generally performs worse on standardized tests, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's racial makeup has also become less diverse over the past few years, with the percentage of Hispanic students decreasing from 62.9% in 2022-2023 to 39.29% in 2021-2022.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
