Barret's Chapel Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Barret's Chapel Elementary/Middle is a public school in Arlington, Tennessee that serves grades PK-8, with a student population of 365. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools and struggles with low academic performance, particularly for Hispanic and Gifted and Talented students.

Barret's Chapel's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.9% of Barret's Chapel students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% statewide and 20% in the Memphis-Shelby County district. The school's performance has also declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 474 out of 997 schools in 2017-2018 to 577 out of 1,008 schools in 2023-2024. Nearby schools like Rivercrest Elementary, Munford Elementary, and Lakeland Elementary significantly outperform Barret's Chapel, with proficiency rates that are 20-50 percentage points higher.

Barret's Chapel also faces significant gaps in academic achievement between different student subgroups. While the school's African American students perform better than the overall student population, their performance is still below the state average. The school's White and low socioeconomic status students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee schools for these subgroups. However, the performance for Barret's Chapel's Hispanic and Gifted and Talented students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Tennessee schools for these subgroups.

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.
