Coalmont Elementary

Summary:

Coalmont Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Coalmont, Tennessee, with a student population of 199. The school is part of the Grundy County School District, which is ranked 99 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coalmont Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.99%) compared to the state and surrounding schools, and its rankings on state tests (TNReady) have consistently placed it in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools over the past five years. Despite spending more per student ($11,746 in 2020-2021) than the state average, the school's academic performance has not improved, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.6 in 2022-2023 has not translated into better outcomes. Nearby schools in the Grundy County district, such as Pelham Elementary, Tracy Elementary, and Swiss Memorial Elementary, generally outperform Coalmont Elementary on academic measures.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (ranked 565 out of 858 Tennessee elementary schools in 2021-2022) may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. Coalmont Elementary's performance on state assessments has remained consistently low over the past several years, with no significant improvement observed, and its proficiency rates on TNReady assessments are significantly below the state and Grundy County averages in all subjects and across all grade levels.

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.
