Andrew Jackson Elementary School

Summary:

Andrew Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kingsport, Tennessee that serves 496 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Kingsport school district, which is ranked 29th out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating.

While Andrew Jackson Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, it has consistently underperformed academically. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (37.4%), English Language Arts (31.3%), and Science (40.7%) were all lower than the Kingsport district and Tennessee state averages. The school has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 300th out of 494 for African American students, but only 584th out of 840 for White students.

The school's performance has been declining over the years, and its low performance may be related to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Nearby schools, such as George Washington Elementary, Thomas Jefferson Elementary, and Andrew Johnson Elementary, consistently outperform Andrew Jackson Elementary in academic measures and statewide rankings, suggesting that targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups could help improve the overall outcomes at Andrew Jackson Elementary.

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.
