York Elementary

Summary:

York Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jamestown, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Fentress County School District, which is ranked 83 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While York Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.24%) compared to the state average, its academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 712-795 out of 1000-1020 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance is also below the Fentress County and Tennessee state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, particularly for male students, white students, and students with low socioeconomic status. Interestingly, York Elementary spends significantly more per student ($13,772 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, yet its academic performance remains low.

Compared to nearby schools in the Fentress County district, such as South Fentress Elementary and Allardt Elementary, York Elementary consistently underperforms across all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population, which could be contributing to its low academic performance and declining trend over the past few years.

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.
