Tyner Academy

Summary:

Tyner Academy is a public high school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving 559 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Hamilton County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tyner Academy consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools, with proficiency rates around 20-35% in English and Math, compared to 35-55% for the district and state. The school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall student body, but female, male, special education, and low-income students perform significantly worse. Despite increased per-student spending and consistent student-teacher ratios, Tyner Academy's academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Hixson High School, Chattanooga Preparatory School, and Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy, which have more diverse student populations and stronger academic outcomes.

The school's demographic shifts, with a gradual decrease in White and African American students and an increase in Hispanic students, suggest changing dynamics in the area. The significant performance gaps between Tyner Academy's overall student body and its underperforming subgroups indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to address these inequities and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
