Surgoinsville Elementary

Summary:

Surgoinsville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Surgoinsville, Tennessee, with around 328 students. The school is part of the Hawkins County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Surgoinsville Elementary consistently outperforms the Hawkins County district and the state of Tennessee in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (34.9%) and ELA (38%) were higher than the county (31.7% and 33.3%) and state (39.7% and 37.6%) averages. The school's special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have also performed better than the state average, ranking in the top 15% and top half of Tennessee elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's White students have performed lower than other racial/ethnic groups, suggesting potential achievement gaps that warrant further investigation.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Hawkins County district and the surrounding region, George Washington Elementary School, St Clair Elementary, and Fall Branch Elementary are among the schools that Surgoinsville Elementary generally outperforms in test scores and rankings. However, Surgoinsville Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from the top 20% to the bottom 40% of Tennessee elementary schools, which may be an area of concern.

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.
