Mayfield Elementary

Summary:

Mayfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Cleveland, Tennessee, serving 412 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cleveland District, which is ranked 117 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mayfield Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.1% of Mayfield students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% statewide and 30.3% in the Cleveland district. The school's performance is particularly low for White students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 20-25% of Tennessee elementary schools. Despite having a diverse student population with higher percentages of Hispanic (31.31%) and African American (13.35%) students, Mayfield's academic rankings for these subgroups are also in the bottom half of the state.

While Mayfield Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending in recent years, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools within the Cleveland District, such as D.P. Yates Primary and E.L. Ross Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have similar low rankings. However, the schools in the neighboring Bradley County district, such as Park View Elementary and North Lee Elementary, significantly outperform Mayfield Elementary and the Cleveland district as a whole, suggesting that the challenges faced by Mayfield may be influenced by broader systemic issues within the district.

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.
