Bargerton Elementary

Summary:

Bargerton Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Lexington, Tennessee, with a student population of 275. The school is part of the Henderson County School District, which is ranked 41 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bargerton Elementary consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top third of Tennessee elementary schools. The school's mathematics proficiency rates, particularly in 4th and 7th grades, exceed 60% and are above the state and district averages. However, the school struggles more in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates around 35%, slightly below the state and district averages. Bargerton's exceptional performance with low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 12% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup, is a notable strength. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 14 students per teacher.

Compared to nearby schools, Bargerton Elementary appears to be performing at a similar or slightly higher level academically, with the exception of Jacks Creek Elementary in the Chester County district, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state. The school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, despite its above-average academic performance, suggests that the rating system may not fully capture Bargerton's strengths and areas for improvement, which include addressing the significant gap between male and female student performance, especially in mathematics.

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.
