Allen Elementary School

Summary:

Allen Elementary is a public elementary school located in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 447. The school is part of the Hamilton County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Allen Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Tennessee elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the Hamilton County and Tennessee state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 58.3% of Allen Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.5% in Hamilton County and 39.7% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 15.1 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the ratios of some nearby schools like Big Ridge Elementary and McConnell Elementary.

While Allen Elementary's student population is predominantly white at 84.56%, the racial diversity of nearby schools like Wallace A. Smith Elementary (64.99% white) and Hixson Elementary (40.8% white) varies significantly. This could suggest that the Soddy Daisy area has a relatively homogeneous population, or that the school's enrollment policies or location may be contributing to the lack of racial diversity. Additionally, the school's ranking for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is lower than its overall ranking, indicating potential equity issues that may need to be addressed.

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.
