Lenoir City Elementary

Summary:

Lenoir City Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Lenoir City, Tennessee, which is part of the Lenoir City District. The school has seen a shift in its student racial makeup, with the Hispanic student population increasing and the White student population decreasing in recent years.

Lenoir City Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its local district on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade math, the school had a 35.4% proficiency rate, compared to 35.3% for the district and 41.6% for the state. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools in recent years, and its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing particularly poorly. Despite spending more per student ($12,204 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Lenoir City Elementary's academic performance lags significantly behind many of the nearby schools in the region, such as Northshore Elementary, Hardin Valley Elementary, and Farragut Intermediate, all of which have much higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds likely contributes to its academic challenges, and its performance has declined over time, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from the middle of the pack in 2013-2014 to the bottom quarter in recent years.

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.
