South Pittsburg High School

Summary:

South Pittsburg High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with 425 students in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, which is part of the Marion County School District. While the school has a higher percentage of White and African American students compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and county averages, with significant achievement gaps for specific student subgroups.

South Pittsburg High School's proficiency rates in Mathematics (25.7%) and English Language Arts (27.7%) for all grades are significantly below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Female Students, Male Students, African American Students, White Students, and Low Socio-Economic Status Students, are generally in the bottom half or bottom third of Tennessee high schools, indicating persistent challenges in serving these populations. Compared to nearby Whitwell High School, which consistently outperforms South Pittsburg High School on standardized assessments and maintains a higher statewide ranking, South Pittsburg High School's academic performance has declined over the years.

The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the Marion County School District's overall low ranking may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique student population, resource allocation, and instructional practices to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gaps.

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.
