Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute

Q: Is Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute a good school?

Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute ranks 231 st of 392 Tennessee high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Alvin C. York Institute is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Jamestown, Tennessee, with a student population of 492. The school is part of the Fentress County school district, which is ranked 107 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alvin C. York Institute has a predominantly white student population, with 95.93% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Clarkrange High School (95% white) and Pickett County High School (96.98% white). The school's academic performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a high of 84th out of 347 Tennessee high schools in 2020-2021 to 224th out of 374 in 2023-2024. This is reflected in its test scores, which are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Alvin C. York Institute's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and white students generally performing better than their non-white peers. The school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students has also been mixed, with rankings ranging from 61st to 233rd out of Tennessee high schools. The absence of specific data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the school's performance in relation to its socioeconomic status, which could provide valuable insights into the challenges the school may be facing and the resources it needs to support its student population.

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.
