Summary:

Claiborne High School faces several challenges compared to other schools in the area. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.56%) than the state average, and it consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with only 9.5% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 30.2% in the Claiborne County and 36.5% in the state. The school also ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools for female, male, and white students, though it performs better for special education students. Additionally, Claiborne High School's spending per student is below the state average, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio.

When compared to nearby schools, Claiborne High School falls short. Cumberland Gap High School, also in the Claiborne County district, outperforms Claiborne High School on several academic metrics. Union County High School, in a different district, has a more diverse student population and generally higher academic performance. The smaller alternative schools in the area, such as Union County Alternative Center and Grainger Academy, may not provide the same level of resources and opportunities as larger high schools.

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.
