West Greene High School

Summary:

West Greene High School is a public high school located in Mosheim, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 516 and is part of the Greene County School District, which is ranked 57 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Greene High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.73%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by TNReady/EOC test scores, is generally lower than the state and county averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.3% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Biology I, compared to the state average of 36.5% and the county average of 40.6%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 143 out of 341 Tennessee high schools in 2017-2018 to 274 out of 384 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in performance relative to other high schools in the state.

Notably, West Greene High School's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with the school's performance for special education students being particularly low, ranking 141 out of 155 Tennessee high schools (0 stars) in 2023-2024. This raises concerns about equity and the school's ability to meet the needs of all its students. Additionally, the absence of data on free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the school's performance in the context of its student population's socioeconomic status. Compared to nearby high schools, such as North Greene High School, Chuckey Doak High School, and South Greene High School, West Greene High School's academic performance is generally lower, suggesting that addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve and better serve its students.

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.
