North Cumberland Elementary

Summary:

North Cumberland Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Crossville, Tennessee, with a student population of 551. The school is part of the Cumberland County School District, which is ranked 69 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of around $8,800 to $9,000 in recent years, North Cumberland Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Cumberland County and Tennessee state averages across various subject areas and grade levels in the TNReady assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 29.9% in Mathematics and 27.9% in English Language Arts, compared to 42.1% and 37.1% for Cumberland County, and 39.7% and 37.6% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd, 5th, and 8th grade Mathematics and English Language Arts, and its statewide ranking has declined from a high of 195 out of 646 Tennessee elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 667 out of 1008 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Cumberland County district, North Cumberland Elementary generally underperforms. For example, Homestead Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 252 out of 1008 Tennessee elementary schools in 2023-2024 and achieving proficiency rates well above the county and state averages. The school's struggles to support the academic success of certain student subgroups, such as male students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, also raise equity concerns and indicate that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.

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.
