Dutch Valley Elementary

Summary:

Dutch Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Clinton, Tennessee, serving 114 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Anderson County School District.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $13,007 to $21,719, Dutch Valley Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the Anderson County and Tennessee state averages. Additionally, the school's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, white students, and low socioeconomic status students, are also in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, indicating widespread academic challenges across different demographics.

Compared to nearby schools like Woodland Elementary, Lake City Elementary, and Clinton Elementary, which are part of the Oak Ridge and Clinton school districts, the academic performance gap at Dutch Valley Elementary becomes even more pronounced. This highlights the need for the school to learn from the successful practices of these higher-performing schools in order to improve student outcomes.

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.
