Corryton Elementary

Summary:

Corryton Elementary is a public elementary school in Corryton, Tennessee, serving 213 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Knox County School District, which is ranked 72 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Corryton Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the Knox County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Corryton Elementary had a 54.8% proficiency rate in Mathematics, compared to 40.3% for Knox County and 39.7% for Tennessee. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools. However, Corryton Elementary's student population is significantly less diverse, with 96.24% of students identifying as white, compared to the more diverse nearby schools such as Carter Elementary, Ritta Elementary, and East Knox Elementary.

While Corryton Elementary's academic success is commendable, the school's performance gap between female and male students, as well as between white and non-white students, suggests that there may be room for improvement in addressing any underlying factors that contribute to these disparities. Nevertheless, Corryton Elementary's consistent excellence provides an opportunity to study its best practices and potentially apply them to other schools in the Knox County school district to help improve educational outcomes more broadly.

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.
