G.R. Stuart Elementary

Summary:

G.R. Stuart Elementary is a public elementary school in Cleveland, Tennessee that serves 291 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, and is part of the Cleveland school district, which is ranked 117 out of 139 districts in the state.

While G.R. Stuart Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like Mayfield Elementary and Arnold Memorial Elementary, the school has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, and special education students, all rank in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,216 in the 2020-2021 school year, its performance has declined over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 359 out of 983 Tennessee elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 859 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024.

The challenges faced by G.R. Stuart Elementary may be more systemic within the Cleveland school district, as the nearby schools also perform below the state and district averages, though not to the same extent as G.R. Stuart Elementary. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at the school may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, suggesting that the school and the district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address the unique needs of their student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
