Church Hill Elementary

Summary:

Church Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Church Hill, Tennessee, serving 328 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Hawkins County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 139 districts in the state with a 2-star rating.

While Church Hill Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.6%) compared to surrounding schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school consistently underperforms the county and state averages in mathematics, though it performs relatively better in science. Disparities exist among student groups, with female students outperforming male students and white students performing significantly worse than the state average. However, the school's special education and low-income students perform better than the overall school. Despite higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's overall academic achievement remains below the state average, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Mt. Carmel Elementary and Carter's Valley Elementary, Church Hill Elementary lags behind in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. This indicates an opportunity for the school to learn from the instructional strategies and practices employed by the higher-performing schools in the area to improve educational outcomes for all 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.
