Inskip Elementary

Summary:

Inskip Elementary is a public elementary school in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving 515 students in grades PK-5. Despite having a higher per-student spending of $11,410 compared to nearby schools, Inskip Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools and struggles with significantly lower academic proficiency rates than the Knox County and state averages.

Inskip Elementary's student population is more diverse, with a racial makeup of 33.98% White, 35.73% African American, 21.75% Hispanic, and 8.16% two or more races. The school also serves a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating a greater need for targeted interventions and support. In contrast, nearby schools like Fountain City Elementary, Beaumont Elementary/Magnet, and Sterchi Elementary generally outperform Inskip in academic proficiency and student demographics.

The persistent underperformance of Inskip Elementary, despite its higher per-student spending, suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school may need to examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and other factors that contribute to student success. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of the higher-performing nearby schools could provide valuable insights for Inskip Elementary to improve its own practices and better address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
