Eakin Elementary

Summary:

Eakin Elementary is a public elementary school in Shelbyville, Tennessee, serving 692 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Bedford County School District. The school stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population compared to nearby schools, as well as its consistently low academic performance that ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools.

Eakin Elementary's student body is much more racially diverse than the surrounding schools, with 46.53% Hispanic students compared to 4-21.83% at nearby schools like Community Elementary, Cascade Elementary, and Thomas Magnet School. However, this diversity is not reflected in the school's academic performance, as its Hispanic and African American students perform significantly worse than their White peers on state assessments.

Despite having a higher per-student spending of $10,252 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8-12.9 students per teacher compared to nearby schools, Eakin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past several years. This persistent underperformance, which is particularly pronounced for the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner student populations, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges facing this diverse student body.

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.
