Jellico Elementary

Summary:

Jellico Elementary is a public elementary school in Jellico, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with 288 students. The school is part of the Campbell County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Jellico Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were just 23% in English Language Arts and 25% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37.6% and 39.7%. The school's performance is particularly low in higher grade levels, with only 11.5% of 8th-graders proficient in ELA and 19.2% in Math.

While Jellico Elementary performs relatively well for its Special Education and Economically Disadvantaged students, it struggles with its overall White student population, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup. The school spends around $11,000 per student, slightly above the district and state averages, but its academic performance lags behind neighboring schools like Powell Valley Elementary and Caryville Elementary. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
