Deerfield Elementary School

Q: Is Deerfield Elementary School a good school?

Deerfield Elementary School ranks 735 th of 1018 Tennessee elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Deerfield Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Manchester, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 259. The school is part of the Coffee County School District, which is ranked 91 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deerfield Elementary faces significant challenges compared to its peers. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.4%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. Academically, Deerfield consistently underperforms the Coffee County district and the state of Tennessee in proficiency rates for TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments. In 2023-2024, Deerfield's proficiency rates were 33.7% in Math, 24% in ELA, and 35.6% in Science, while the state averages were 39.7%, 37.6%, and 44%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools for White students and Special Education students in Math and ELA.

Deerfield Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 318 out of 820 schools in 2011-2012 (3-star rating) to 727 out of 1,008 schools in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The nearby schools, such as East Coffee Elementary, North Coffee Elementary, and New Union Elementary, generally outperform Deerfield Elementary in academic assessments and have higher statewide rankings, despite being part of the same Coffee County School District. The school's relatively low per-student spending ($12,116 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby Manchester and Warren County schools ($13,195 and $9,742, respectively) may be a contributing factor to its underperformance.

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.
