East Side Elementary

Summary:

East Side Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brownsville, Tennessee, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 388 students. Despite its higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools.

East Side Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in the academic performance of its White, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are all well below the state averages, with its male students performing especially poorly. Interestingly, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform better than the overall school, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address the observed racial disparities.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Haywood Elementary and Haywood County Virtual Academy, which are part of the same Haywood County district, East Side Elementary performs significantly worse. Additionally, higher-performing schools in other districts, such as Alamo Elementary and Gadsden Elementary, provide insights into the practices and strategies that could potentially be implemented to improve student outcomes at East Side Elementary.

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.
