Alex Green Elementary

Summary:

Alex Green Elementary is a public elementary school in Whites Creek, Tennessee, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alex Green Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly lower than the Davidson County and state averages, with only 12.7% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 29.5% in the district and 39.7% statewide. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for African American and low-income students, who perform well below their peers at nearby schools like Purpose Prep, Joelton Elementary, and KIPP Nashville College Prep Elementary.

While Alex Green Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's per-student spending has decreased in recent years, which may be contributing to its academic struggles. The high percentage of African American and low-income students at the school may also be a factor, as these populations often face additional challenges and barriers to educational success. However, the school's relatively strong performance with English Language Learner students suggests that it may have effective strategies in place to support certain student subgroups.

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.
