Philadelphia Elementary

Summary:

Philadelphia Elementary is a public school serving 511 students in grades PK-8 in the Loudon County School District in Philadelphia, Tennessee. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 213 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 379 out of 1008 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. The school's student population is predominantly White, with around 90% of students identifying as such in recent years.

Philadelphia Elementary generally performs above the state average in mathematics and science, with 43.6% and 52.7% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, respectively, compared to the state averages of 39.7% and 44%. However, the school lags behind the state in English Language Arts, with only 39.5% of students proficient or better. The school's male students outperform the female students, and its special education students perform relatively well compared to the state, but its White students underperform compared to the state. Philadelphia Elementary spends more per student ($11,051 in 2020-2021) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.1 in 2022-2023) than the nearby schools.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Loudon County district, Philadelphia Elementary generally performs better in mathematics and science than Highland Park Elementary and Steekee Elementary, but lags behind in English Language Arts. The school's inconsistent statewide rankings, racial demographic imbalances, and performance disparities among student subgroups suggest areas for improvement to provide a well-rounded education for all its 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.
