Karns Middle School

Summary:

Karns Middle School is a public middle school located in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving around 950 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Knox County school district.

While Karns Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the Knox County and Tennessee state averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 41st out of 475 Tennessee middle schools in 2012-2013 to 231st out of 580 in 2023-2024, indicating a decline in its relative performance compared to other middle schools in the state. However, the school stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the county and state averages.

When compared to other nearby middle schools in the Knox County district, such as Farragut Middle School, West Valley Middle School, and Hardin Valley Middle School, Karns Middle School generally performs below these higher-performing schools, which have higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings. This suggests the need for Karns Middle School to learn from the practices and strategies of these schools to drive overall improvement and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

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.
