Mc Ewen Elementary

Summary:

Mc Ewen Elementary is a public elementary school in Mc Ewen, Tennessee, serving 451 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Humphreys County School District, which is ranked 90 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mc Ewen Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (31%), English Language Arts (31.7%), and Science (38%) are all below the Tennessee state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 206 out of 997 Tennessee elementary schools in 2017-2018 (4-star rating) to 663 out of 1008 schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools for these groups.

Interestingly, Mc Ewen Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Waverly Elementary (same district) and Montgomery Central Elementary (different district), which have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of white students and relatively low percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds suggest that socioeconomic factors may not be the primary driver of the school's academic performance, pointing to the need to examine other factors, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership.

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.
