Burt Elementary

Summary:

Burt Elementary is a public elementary school located in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 354. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 55 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burt Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 32.77% White, 40.4% African American, 12.71% Hispanic, and 12.71% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally lower than the Montgomery County and Tennessee state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (24.1%), English Language Arts (25.9%), and Science (30.7%) are significantly below the county and state averages. Burt Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 361 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 801 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Burt Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Montgomery County district, some schools, such as Barksdale Elementary and Spanish Immersion @ Barksdale, have significantly higher academic achievement, suggesting that there may be successful practices or programs that could be replicated at Burt Elementary. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges.

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.
