Beaver Elementary

Summary:

Beaver Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Wildersville, Tennessee, with an enrollment of 318 students. 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.

Beaver Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (37.4%), English Language Arts (27%), and Science (39.9%) were all below the district and state averages. Beaver Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 256th out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 606th out of 1,008 schools in the current school year, with a 2-star rating.

Interestingly, Beaver Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's African American students ranked 165th out of 494 Tennessee elementary schools (3-star rating), its White students ranked 642nd out of 840 schools (1-star rating) in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school is doing a better job of supporting its African American students compared to its White students. The nearby schools, such as South Haven Elementary and Bargerton Elementary, generally outperform Beaver Elementary on academic measures, which could provide valuable insights for the school's improvement efforts.

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.
