South Haven Elementary

Summary:

South Haven Elementary is a public elementary school in Lexington, Tennessee, serving 329 students in grades PK-8 and part of the Henderson County School District. The school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (85.41%) compared to nearby schools like Beaver Elementary (67.61%) and East Chester Elementary School (78.68%), which have more diverse student populations.

Academically, South Haven Elementary's performance is mixed, with some grade levels outperforming the Henderson County and Tennessee averages, while others lag behind. The school's female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively well, ranking higher in the state compared to their peers. However, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,593 in 2018-2019 to $10,620 in 2020-2021, without a clear impact on overall academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, South Haven Elementary stands out for its racial homogeneity, while schools like Scotts Hill Elementary and South Side Elementary consistently outperform the district and state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be a potential strength, but the impact on academic performance is not clear from the available data.

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.
