Gibbs High School

Summary:

Gibbs High School is a public high school located in Corryton, Tennessee, serving 1,040 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Knox County school district.

Gibbs High School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 100 out of 296 Tennessee high schools in 2013-2014 to 222 out of 384 in 2022-2023. While the school's overall performance on state assessments is generally below the Knox County and Tennessee averages, its African American and Hispanic students perform better than their respective state averages. Additionally, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) students also outperform the state averages for those subgroups. However, the performance of White students at Gibbs High School is below the state average for that subgroup, which is an area of concern.

When compared to nearby high schools, Gibbs High School's academic performance is generally lower than Career Magnet Academy and Central High School, which outperform Gibbs High School on several key assessments. However, Gibbs High School's performance is better than some of the other nearby schools, such as Austin East High/Magnet and Richard Yoakley School, which have significantly lower academic outcomes.

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.
