Pin Oak Elementary

Summary:

Pin Oak Elementary is a public school in Lexington, Tennessee that serves 370 students in grades PK-8 as part of the Henderson County School District. While the school maintains a 3-star rating, its statewide ranking has declined significantly over the past decade, dropping from a top 5% school in 2012-2013 to the middle 38% in 2023-2024.

Pin Oak Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in Mathematics and Science but weaknesses in English Language Arts. The school stands out with strong 4th grade and 8th grade Mathematics scores, but its overall performance lags behind nearby schools like Jacks Creek Elementary and Decaturville Elementary, which serve similar demographics. Additionally, there are significant gaps in performance between White students and low socioeconomic status students at Pin Oak, suggesting potential equity concerns that the school and district may need to address.

Despite maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio and above-average per-student spending, Pin Oak Elementary faces challenges in keeping pace with improvements at other elementary schools in the Henderson County and surrounding districts. Addressing these performance gaps and equity issues should be a priority for the school and district leadership to ensure all students at Pin Oak Elementary have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
