Toone Elementary

Summary:

Toone Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Toone, Tennessee. With a student population of 221, the school is part of the Hardeman County Schools district, which is ranked 129 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Toone Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of white students (71.49%) compared to nearby schools, but its academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally lower than the state average across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in Mathematics for all grades was 26.1%, compared to the district's 22.9% and the state's 39.7%. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male and white students tending to perform better than female and low socioeconomic status students, respectively. Toone Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 471 out of 983 Tennessee elementary schools in 2020-2021 (3 stars) to 603 out of 1008 in 2023-2024 (2 stars), placing it in the middle to lower range of Tennessee elementary schools.

While Toone Elementary generally performs better academically than other schools in the Hardeman County Schools district, such as Whiteville Elementary, it lags behind schools in the higher-performing Chester County district, like Chester County Middle School. The school's declining academic performance and socioeconomic disparities in student achievement suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and improve 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.
