Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School

Summary:

Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Pegram, Tennessee, with a student population of 229. The school is part of the Cheatham County School District, which is ranked 60 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pegram Elementary's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, lags behind the Cheatham County and Tennessee state averages across most subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (36.9%) and English Language Arts (34.5%) were lower than the county (39.7% and 36.6%) and state (39.7% and 37.6%) averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 220 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 697 out of 983 in 2020-2021. In the most recent year (2023-2024), the school ranked 506 out of 1008 elementary schools in the state, with a 2-star rating.

Pegram Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools like Kingston Springs Elementary, which ranked 109 out of 1008 Tennessee elementary schools in 2023-2024 and had much higher proficiency rates in Mathematics (73.3%), English Language Arts (68.1%), and Science (55.6%). This suggests that Pegram Elementary may need to examine its instructional practices and curriculum to better align with the higher-performing schools in the region. Additionally, the school's significant performance gaps between student subgroups, particularly for White and Low Socioeconomic Status students, indicate that the school may need to focus more on addressing equity and providing targeted support to ensure all students are achieving at high levels.

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.
