Midway Elementary

Summary:

Midway Elementary is a public school in New Tazewell, Tennessee, serving 402 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Claiborne County School District, which is ranked 103 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Midway Elementary has seen a decline in its academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 367 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 714 out of 1,008 schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts, where only 24.8% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.6% and the Claiborne County average of 29.2%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with lower rankings for male students and students of low socioeconomic status.

Compared to nearby schools in the Claiborne County district, such as Forge Ridge School, Ellen Myers Primary, Springdale Elementary, and Powell Valley Elementary, Midway Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher rankings, better performance on state assessments, and higher percentages of students proficient or better in core subjects. While Midway Elementary's per-student spending is comparable to nearby schools, the fluctuations in student-teacher ratio may indicate challenges in staffing and class size management, which could impact the quality of instruction and student learning.

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.
