Cornersville Elementary

Summary:

Cornersville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 468 students in grades PK-6 in Cornersville, Tennessee, which is part of the Marshall County School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and science.

Cornersville Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with 49.4% of students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 39.2% for Marshall County and 39.7% for Tennessee. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.7, which may contribute to its success. However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse, with 94.44% of students identifying as white, in contrast to the more diverse populations at nearby schools like Oak Grove Elementary and Marshall Elementary. This suggests a need to address potential equity and inclusion concerns.

While Cornersville Elementary is a high-performing school overall, it ranks lower for students of low socioeconomic status compared to the state average, indicating a need for additional support and resources to ensure these students are achieving at the same level as their peers. Additionally, the school may have opportunities to improve its English language arts proficiency, particularly in the 5th grade, where it lags behind the state average.

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.
