Gibbs Elementary

Summary:

Gibbs Elementary is a public elementary school in Corryton, Tennessee, serving 942 students in grades PK-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.

Gibbs Elementary stands out for its consistently high academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past decade. The school outperforms the Knox County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for TNReady assessments in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. Notably, Gibbs Elementary's 4th and 5th-grade students excel in Mathematics and Science, exceeding the state and district averages by a significant margin. The school also performs well across different student subgroups, with its African American and low socioeconomic status students ranking in the top quartile of Tennessee elementary schools.

One interesting aspect of Gibbs Elementary is its demographic composition, which differs significantly from the surrounding schools. The school has a much higher percentage of white students (89.49%) compared to nearby schools like Spring Hill Elementary and Adrian Burnett Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. This demographic difference may contribute to Gibbs Elementary's strong academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic factors can play a significant role in student achievement. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average may also be factors in its academic success.

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.
